Here's an unlisted early porcelain no-tie insulator found along a railway in Spain. Looks like other Spanish composition insulators but this one is made of porcelain! Measures 3" wide x 5" tall. Weighs 1 lb 6 oz. Some wear in the wire slotted area: minor nibbles and former sharp edges are now smooth. Inner skirt with short cracks [id=726695904]. Reverse profile has less wear on the claws.

Pinhole is an unusual 1" wide! with original hemp material stuffed inside to accommodate 1/4 pin. Most likely not UK origin with this large pinhole but used UK hardware. Likely Italy made as I've encountered other early porcelain insulators with identical texture, color, material and they often made insulators with pinholes larger than their hardware that were fitted with thimbles (or other materials) depending on user needs.

First email gets this cool style no-tie insulator that's unlisted in the books and NIA website for the slashed price (and final discount) of only $75 plus 11 shipping. First one listed on ICON. Thanks!
