At left is a nice streaky grey unmarked Canadian Ohio Brass U-2571. These date to the 1920s-30s or so and saw use on the neutral circuit of some HEPC distribution lines across Ontario. This one is VNM with only some minor wire groove wear in the side groove. I'm now asking $13 USD plus shipping for it.

At right is a nice speckled blue U-2531 with a HESCHO mark on one ear. These are the same story for use as the U-2571, but made in Germany for Canadian use around the same time frame. This one has a nice factory unglazed spot on the outer base edge on one side. For damage it has some minor fleabites on the ends of the ears on one side and some aluminum wire rubs in the saddle groove (these can be easily removed with lye before I mail it, if you prefer). I'm now asking $12 USD plus shipping for this one.

Now these two are $20 USD for the pair. 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.
