Today was the first day this new year that actually WAS springlike, it was sunny and 75 which is extremely unseasonal for Ohio in mid March, so with this weather in mind I went out to do my day's welding work. After I slipped out of the shop for the afternoon I ran a couple rails to stretch my indoor legs, this cool and very crude HGCO PETTICOAI beehive was my find of the day sitting about 3 feet away from the rail and down slope from a cut pole stump. This is an error piece with the last T being an I in the rear embossing. Suprisingly, this insulator is almost mint, with the embossing being extremely faint, good script!
