      If you have any from:

      Pacific glass works
      Owens-Illinois
      Mckee and co.
      Louisville glass works
      or pyrex, I would like to see them.
      Brookfield would be nice too.

      I am also looking for really old porcalain insulators from 1860s-1910s. And any really old insulator from F M Locke.

    Here are a few I have picked up over the years. The image does not do the colors justice.

      This aqua one has no markings and was found in two pieces in an old dump site(ravine).

      The beehives are early Hemingray Glass Company and have slightly different markings.

        I think the Hemingray beehives are the best looking of the Hemingrays.

      This particular style of insulator sometimes has no embossing as you stated. However they sometimes have very faint, hard to see embossing on the crown.
