Vintage Green Whitall Tatum No 1 Glass Insulator
$32.00
This vintage green glass insulator was made by the Whitall Tatum Company in 1940, and is embossed with "Whitall Tatum Co No 1 40" on one side, and "Made in USA" with their logo on the other.
It measures 4" high, 3 5/8" wide, and weighs 1 pound, 8 ounces. It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks, and a few striations from the manufacturing process as pictured.
Insulators were originally used on telegraph, telephone and railroad lines. But now they are a colorful piece of communications history that can make unique windowsill or mantle decorations, as well as paper weights! Or turn them upside down inside a flat base and use them as candle stick holders.
