I have a CD 126.4 W.E.MFG. CO insulator that has an uneven base. The right side of the base appears to be "stretched out" in the manufacturing process. The insulator leans because of this.

I am curious on how/why this happens and if it affects the value of the insulator.

I also noticed that some inner skirt threads on other insulators also appear to be "stretched out."

Thanks
