In keeping with the last one of these sold on ICON, I could make up a story with no factual evidence about how this insulator is some fantastic hybrid produced in conjunction with a rival glasshouse from another country, but that seems bad for the hobby to me. This insulator is identical to CD 655 pieces marked ESA and has the embossing that predates the use of the companies initials. How that can be construed as a French hybrid is beyond me. I will say you don't see these very often, I hadn't run across one until the previous was listed. Embossed ESPERANZA S.A. on the front and 93 - E.V. This is a greyed green and the condition is fantastic mint, with only the traditional grind mark in the bolt holes. $85 plus postage. I use regional rate shipping and postage will not exceed $10.
