In recent years I started getting back into collecting Canadian related insulators. With help from fellow collectors and US collectors, (Barrett Nicpon, James Mulvey, & Matt Grayson to name a few), my Canadian porcelain beehive collection has grown greatly. As a side project of that I was also looking for pieces from different countries that were just made and imported to Canada. The main ones being Bullers LTD of Great Britian and Hescho from Germany. I recently came across an unlisted color piece from Germany. U-2230 is known in white. Last year I aquired one from a Canadian seller. These are neat because they are ink marked in the pinhole Made In Germany. Last month I found a brown version on an auction and it is marked in the pinhole also. I think these were also made by Hermsdort Porcelain Insulator Co. (HESCHO)
