This insulator has one of the lightest glazes ever found on any large insulator and one of the lightest blond glazes ever found on a M-3890. Moreover it is a complete original insulator. All three skirts came from the same original insulator and when found the original cement still held the lower skirts in place in the crown. It has been in my personal collection for 14 years. I decided to sell this one to make some space for other pieces as I have several more various Thomas and New Lexington more M-3890's in my collection. I need room for some other large insulatorsI have since acquired. This insulator has no bono filler or paint repairs. Everything you see is the original porcelain. This is one of the best M-3890 New Lexingtons known insofar as it is a complete original reconstructed insulator once used used by the Niagara Lockport and Ontario Power Co in 1905-06. There are no surviving known unbroken New Lexington M-3890's. Delivery to Rohde Ranch this spring, Springfield this fall or other east coast destinations can be arranged.
