CD 287.1 F.M. LOCKE & Co VICTOR. N.Y./PATD MAY 22 1894 in beautiful orange amber. One of the prettiest power pieces ever made. This one appears VNM+ on first inspection. A closer examination reveals a small wire ridge flake and a no impact stress crack around the wire groove with a branch that goes into the skirt. Ninety nine plus percent of the glass is there! This is a great chance to own one of these gorgeous Locke pieces at a bargain price. VNM examples of this insulator have sold for over $3000.00. Will let this one go for $995.00 with shipping included! That's a heck of a deal on this rare and beautiful insulator.
