CD 162, HEMINGRAY, Orange Amber - a photo on Flickriver

            A very popular CD style of insulator known as a signal insulator, that were produced by many different glass companies from the 1880's to the 1940's for telephone and low voltage power distribution. 

These amber CD 162 insulators were produced by the Hemingray Glass Company in Muncie, Indiana around the late 1930's to the early 40's. 

Most of these amber signal insulators were used in the state of Kansas with large quantities in Ellsworth, Kansas. Power companies in that state used colored CD 162 signals to specially mark various circuits on the poles like street light circuits.

This mold style was the last used in producing colored Hemingray signals around the late 1930's to early 40's.
