Fashioned after the Rufus Gould patent of 1929. The term 'Dry Spot' was issued to this insulator due to its special insulating characteristics. A rather large insulator for telephone use, it was designed to allow a telephone drop line to be potted and sealed under the skirt, reducing leakage at the connection. They are quite scarce and highly sought by CD collectors. One of the few insulators with the word 'INSULATOR' actually embossed on it. Just a couple of fingernail flakes off the base rim and a minor scuff and ping or two is all to report. Contact me if you would like additional pics.

Current high book value of $3,500 is based on record prices paid in the past, but hopefully will be adjusted down an increment or two accordingly. However, you may never see one offered this low...$1,650.00 and that INCLUDES shipping and insurance to your door!
