A Hemingray 45 insulator hangs in the air after having broken loose from its pin and sliding down the defunct code line. This piece of glass was manufactured in 1963, which can be decoded by the numbers and dots on the skirt. This one came from mold #26, which was stamped for 1956. Each subsequent year Hemingray would simply add a dot, rather than reworking the mold. As this has seven dots, it was made seven years after 1956, or 1963.
