Here are all 3 of the J-D multiparts as found as salvage from the storm damage on Tillamook P.U.D. The closest drawing I could find in the book Multipart Porcelain Insulators, by Elton Gish was the style M-2327 on page 179. The J-D M-2327 as shown, is also not reported and the drawing is from a 1952 J-D catalog. The bottom shell is identical to my insulator, but the top shell is quite a bit different. In discussion with Elton about it from these photos, it may possibly be assigned a new M-number, once I can submit a proper side view photo from a good specimen. I am working on that so in the meantime, I am calling it a SIM M-2327.
