vivian vintage glass pin insulator vase

We made these unique vases from antique glass pin insulators and our Lucky Buttons as base. They will be an interesting addition to any surface.

These glass pin insulators from the United States were used from the late 1800s to the early 1900s on telephone and electric poles, to secure conducting wire.

We only have 5 of these, and each one is unique.

No, 1 has a glass pin insulator in a light green. Embossed on it are "McLaughlin" (the company name) and "No. 42."

No, 2 has a glass pin insulator in blue. Embossed on it are "Hemingray - 42" and "Made in U.S.A."

No, 3 has a glass pin insulator in blue-green. Embossed on it are "H.G. Co. Patent May 2 1893" and "Petticoat." Please note that some of the spokes on the rim of this insulator have chipped away,

No, 4 has a glass pin insulator in light  green. Embossed on it are "Whitall Tatum Co." and "No. 1 Made in U.S.A."

No, 5 has a clear glass pin insulator. Embossed on it are "Armstrong DPI" and "Made in U.S.A 44 56."

Height of the vases ranges from 6.5 to 7.5 inches.
