CD 114, Hemingray in Light Aqua
Neat little Hemingray No 11 insulator. This is an early exchange pony style insulator that was replaced by the CD 113 Hemingray No 12, and the production of these was fairly slimmer than the production of the number 12's. I hear these are usually found in average condition with chipping on the base and such, but this one is one of the best I've seen so far. There's a unique feature on one of the drip points that I thought was a chip at first. Turns out that the empty spot is an opening into an air bubble inside the base of the insulator, must've been a small error in the manufacturing process. I've been trying to get my hands on one of these for awhile, as I've always liked early Hemingray insulators, and I finally was able to come across one.
