Item: 21 Description: CD 257 Hemingray (245) Hemingray Blue. This is a "No. 60 - A". The reverse embossing has 'MADE IN U.S.A." embossed over the word "PATENT"; and also has the JUNE 17, 1893 patent date error. The year should be 1890. Half of the EIN listings for CD 257's are for insulators embossed 60-A, so you'd think they'd be common. Just try to find one. All of the 60-A's are much more elusive than the Price Guide indicates. This one is Grade B for a shallow flake on the wire shoulder on the front center; a couple teeny nibbles on the reverse wire shoulder; and three damaged drip points below the first 1893 embossing. The rest of the drips are undamaged. View 3 shows the base. Estimate: $120 - $150 Open: $65 |
