Here's a pair of scarce porcelain no-tie insulators made circa 1890-10. Left to Right: U-2017A Marked CP which is an abbreviation for Caminhos de Ferro Portugal (Portugal Railroad). These are rarely seen or offered- first one ever on ICON! Much rarer than typical unmarked ones found in Spain. Has 3/4" skirt glaze flake (seen in photo), small peck and 2 bb size nicks on the outer skirt, 2 bb size flakes and one small nick on the hooks. Some light glaze scratches. Measures 3 1/16" x 5 1/2" tall.

(Right) U-2017 white no-tie is most likely an unmarked Buller Jobson & Co circa 1900 and is shown in their catalog as number EI 398. Excellent condition with only a day one factory annealing base crack [id=587231841]. No chips! Light rust rub marks inside wire groove. Measures 3" x 5 1/4" tall (variation from NIA website).
