Here is an up-close look at the bold embossing (which is crisp and big) around the base rim of a CD 157.5 Standard Glass Insulator example. All "Standard" insulators have base lettering. It is not known where the company had its glass works. However there were listings for the organization during 1893-1894 within the Boston City Directory. They made several other styles.
