Recently, a Hemingray 42 was listed on eBay. Here's the story on the listing: "Sure, these are about the most common insulators out there, but this one is special! Carved out of greenish South African diamond in tribute to Hemingray's 30 billionth glass insulator, it briefly rested atop the flagpole at the Capitol building before being displayed at the Smithsonian's five-room Hemingray Insulator exhibit. It was stolen from that exhibit by Stalinist agents in 1953, and was briefly part of Joe's funeral display before he fell out of favor. In 1958 Nikita Khrushchev shipped it to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, but it was lost in the mails, being accidently delivered to my Aunt Flueploster in Resume Speed, Iowa. I traded her an autographed copy of "The Gospel Accordion to Lawrence Welk" for it on 1966, and am only selling it now because I'm thinking of putting in a wading pool for the cats." At the end of the listing, the seller announced the whole story was made up!
