Hemingray CD 121 I read in ICON about the fake and altered insulators, I saw where someone had mentioned some irradiated or nuked insulators coming out of the Bishop, Calif. area. Well here is one I bought off eBay 2 weeks ago and after showing it to a seasoned insulator collector here, he as soon as he saw it said its a fake, been nuked, these don't come in this color, after really looking at it and checking around I am sure its been nuked soooo my loss, but, I am wiser now. I tried to contact this person I bought it off of to get his input on it but it appears eBay has bumped him off and his handle is no good anymore. In the picture it is the bluish purple one. Rick
