Fredrik proudly holds an ancient gingerbread granny, in "as found" condition mounted on its original hook. This type of insulator, originating from 1858 - 1868, was named "Isolateur-arrêt" from 1862 and onwards, when the term "isolateur" officially entered into the French administration language.

Needless to say, it will be kept with the original hook!
