Item: 50 Description: San Francisco Wooden Insulator. Made of a type of hardwood called Lignum Vitae, this insulator was used on the San Francisco trolley car system in the early 1900’s. Many were still in use into the 1960’s. This example has been cleaned, but not polished like many have been. You can leave it as is, or shine it up if you’d prefer. This example was formed with an inner skirt as shown in View 3. The fissures in the wood are part of the natural drying process. There is a thin flake on the upper wire ridge as visible to the left in View 2. Grade B-Plus . Estimate: $200 - $250 Open: $120 Current bid: $130 |
