Here's a fantastic and under-rated cable style that saw some use here in Ontario. These were used on some lower voltage Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario distribution lines. 95% of them are boring brown shades, but once in a while a really fiery one like this turns up. This has to be one of the most vivid examples I've ever owned, with a bright orange base colour and yellow "mustard" highlights. From one side it displays with the more yellow tones dominating. It has a prominent OB embossing on one ear, and four "teat rests" on the tops of the ears.

This one does have some damage in the form of three 1/4" base flakes, one of which runs up the skirt about 3/8". It also has some smaller 1/16 to 1/8" flakes on the outer base edge. Despite the damage, it looks good and displays well from the more yellow side.

I'm asking $35 USD plus shipping for this piece. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
