This one is a wonderful hazy clamsbroth color. This style has come to be referred to as the "Fisher type Otis" due to the ears and top groove that remind us of the FIsher Electric Railway Insulators. It has the original tie wire on the top too. The embossing on the front is: PATENTED and on the back: AUG. 26, 1851 This one has been in my collection for 15 to 20 years. It was purchased out of New England.
