Hawleys
by George F. Lahm
Reprinted from "INSULATORS - Crown Jewels of the Wire", May 1976, page 6
I finally got all my Hawley insulators together for photographing and am
sending several pictures.
The upper picture at the left is the Hawley toll. The one on the right has an
inner skirt, which I hope shows up in the second picture. The toll with the
inner skirt is mold #3 (the "3" is backwards); the other is mold #4.
The picture at the bottom is the Hawley collection, and shows all of the
styles that I know of. Insulators shown are (l. to r. ) as follows: (bottom row)
CD 102, CD 160, CD 121 with inner skirt, 2 CD 145's (note height of wire
grooves), CD 121, CD 112, CD 102; (top row) Porcelain Harloe-3 date, CD 162,
small Harloe, Helmet, large Harloe, CD 164, Porcelain Harloe 2 date.
The Hawley embossings that I know of are listed on the following page.
