Here's a really cool CD 626 Spanish glass insulator with multiple embossings ESPERANZA (front) 106 BIS- E.V. (reverse). The N in Esperanza is backwards. Has 3 skirts! Recently added to NIA website.

Esperanza has a rich and royal history in Spain going back to 1750 with its original factory built under the order of Fernando VI. They were the first to make telephone glass insulators in the country in 1930.

In this case we see evidence Esperanza during its joint venture with Sediver purchased and reworked molds from France. Other than embossing, identical to the CD 626 from France. Color is an attractive Green. Note the rounded ears which indicates mold from early manufacture.

Measures 4 5/8" W x 4 1/2" tall. Some teeny tic marks, 1/2" inner skirt annealing line/crack, light roughness on crown and skirt (seen in pic). No chips!

First email gets this scarce power insulator for the reduced price of only $50 plus shipping. Thanks!
