Item: 383  Description: Rams Horn Insulators: View 1 shows a metal Rams Horn with a piece of iron tie wire and glass for the insulating factor. View 2 shows there are three shards of glass, which make up about 80-percent of the glass. Meaning, 20% is missing. This item was reportedly dug in the Brookfield dump. View 3 shows a second Rams Horn with non-metallic, composite, material for the threads to thus provide insulation. View 4 shows that a piece of that material (Gutta-Percha?) is missing. Your one bid is for both Rams Horn specimens. These items date from the 1860 – 1870 era.
Estimate: $50 - $75  Open: $20
