Summary

Description
English: A glass insulator commonly used on railroad communications circuits in the past. Its paraboloid shape was patented by Samuel Oakman in 1884, and the embossed star was a customer marking used by several manufacturers. Insulator collectors have a chart known as the Consolidated Design system for easier cataloguing, and under that system, this insulator is known as CD 145, also nicknamed the 'beehive'.
