Introducing the M-4325b ! This triple lilyshell stile was used as a replacement insulator in the 1909-1912 era on a line from the Bear River Powerhouse to Ogden Utah . The line built in 1903 used the M-3236 Fred Locke which appears to have had a fairly high failure rate in service so they were replaced with this better made larger and slightly newer four part design whenever a change out was preformed . It is possible these may have also seen service some place else in Utah but none have ever been found to date . It took me a long time to find enough good unbroken skirts to put this one one together but I finally did it . This stile was #353 and was listed in the 1910 and 1913 Locke catalogs
