In the group picture this is the insulator 3rd from the far right. Stamp embossed on front skirt HEMINGRAY / No 9. On rear skirt PATENT / MAY 2 1893. Has sharp drip points. This picture seems a bit too blueish to my eye. I think the color in the group picture is better. It is just plain aqua, but wow, what a great clump of amber there in the dome. Condition is only so so, but hey the damage is all on the opposite side of the amber. On that side (the front) there is an upper groove chip and a row of like six drips cleanly chipped off. Price for this side of the insulator is cheap, but to send the amber side with it will be $45 plus S&H and insurance.
