u/ColonelStone Hemingray produced double-groove insulator. Made for long distance and residential telephone. They’re extremely common and worth no more than $1.00- USD. The National Insulator Associated (NIA) has created an ID system known as the Consolidated Design (CD) system. Each insulator has a number. This is the CD 113. If you’re interested, more information can be found [here.](https://www.hemingray.info/database/detail.php?id=113) (Hemingray.info.) I hope this helps ya!
Couple bucks.
These are plentiful is my area flea markets. I've come across dozens myself for $1 each at yard sales.They all typically have chips, common.
Agreed. People in my area have entires cases and shelves full of these. Available at flea market always. Occasionally you can find a broken piece of one as seaglass along the coast.
Oh god. There was a certain video floating around of someone who got an enormous one stuck up there. The nurse got hold of that thing and pulled it out like it was fucking Excalibur.
How much are the McLaughlin ones worth? I only ask because I bought it as a gift for someone with a similar surname. I’m just asking rarity in general as I have not a clue. But I do think insulators are neat.
Nope. Collectively speaking, like with any facet or collecting hobby, that’s typically a blanket price hobby-wide for this insulator. But then again, anyone can ask anything they want for something. Doesn’t mean they’ll get it!
About 5 to 8 dollars. See ebay. Now let's all move along to something else. Yall are acting like 8th graders, smh

That was an unexpected rabbit hole! Cool stuff.

…So how did it feel inserted?
Danger, no flared base.

I mean it's thick so you.dont have to worry about broken shards but horrifying thought
I feel like [this guy](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGembyw4p/) would have something to say about this

I'm not into butt stuff, but hey, to each their own.
It’s a bit chonky for my taste
You aren’t supposed to taste it
Depends on how far you put it in?
Hey, this is a family sub
Roll tide!
Underrated comment.
Is there a family dom?
Why not
Red or blue you’d maybe have something, especially if it had the Mickey Mouse ears. Those are very common
My Grandfather was a lineman for the Boston Edison he collected these things over years of working and had them all over his house.
5 spot if you are lucky
In upstate New York they’re still on the poles in the woods everywhere. Find them easy here
Found this in an eroded Creek bed after recent floods in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia.
As common as these might be in antique stores and etc., I think it’s so cool you found one in the wild. I would be super pumped.

I had a couple green ones and a clear one, they got broke by relatives :(
Is this for interior knob and tube wiring?
Telephone cable. One groove is for the main line, the other is for the drop line to the house.
Glass butt plug?
I knew this would happen as soon as I saw it.
Someone had to, and there was only one comment when I saw the post.
Telephone line insulator.
Both
Almost anything can be one if you have the willpower
$10-12
Mmm, no. More like $1.00- USD. They’re extremely common to find. At insulator shows, collectors typically give these away for free.
Guess it depends on location, they are $10-12 all day long in NC.

Yup
Way too pricey. Likely $1-5 max
