Item: 67  Description: Canadian Tree Insulator. Elton Gish referred us to Barrett Nicpon for an explanation for this piece. Barrett says the "Diamond S" logo on the front in View 1 refers to Slater, a Canadian firm that sold materials for line construction. He submitted a page from a 1950 Slater catalog. The catalog calls this insulator a "Tree Wireholder". The catalog says, "The wire is not tied and can slide freely as the tree sways." See View 4. This one has been screwed into a wood base for display purposes.  Grade A .
