I have hunted the UPRR in Wyoming with several friends. We found several pieces of this insulator on the line between Rawlings and Rock Springs. I don't remember finding any pieces with embossing as crisp as this one. It looks like MAYBE the EIN 015 embossing missing the lower bar in the "F" in FEB. But one of my photos clearly shows part of the bar, so it could be EIN010. There is a half inch long bubble above the "T" of L.G.T.. There is a light haze to the insulator, and there are quite a few tiny light flea bits all over the insulator. This makes me think the insulator was never tumbled. This evidence suggests this is the way the insulator was found. There is a tiny band of steam, a little tiny milk string and a tiny bit of amber around the top of the pin hole. LET ME RE-EMPHASIZE TINY. There is some fizz and seed bubbles throughout the insulator. There are four open base bubbles with a flat edge chip around two of the larger bubbles. There are two spots of wire groove wear.

I have taken EIGHT photos of this insulator from different angles and in different lights. Let me know if you want the other photos. I did not want to hog the ICON "for sale" folder. I will NOT be consistently in front of my computer for the next few days, but I will respond when I can.
