Yeah, it is a heavily damaged aqua cross top. This is my first Lightning Rod Insulator. It was found at a long abandoned home site near Pelham, GA. It was found sometime about 1974 or 1975. There were some metal ring brackets and some lengths of iron 'star' lightning rod in the area. I was curious about the actual complete shape of this damaged piece. I don't have any picture on hand of my very first LRI purchases from 1978. Today, April 1st is my 30th anniversary of the purchase of my first LRIs. 30 years and I'm still buying them. You'd think I would know better by now. : )
