NO EXCEPTIONS OTIS PATENT LIGHTNING ROD INSULATOR CGC897 CD Embossing Index (Dome) (F-Crown) (R-Crown) (F-Skirt) PATENTED (R-Skirt) AUG. 26 1851 (Base) Smooth Base (Color) Bright Light Yellow Green Condition: VNM Estimated Value: $400.00 - $500.00+ Description:      Up for auction is this rare Fisher Style OTIS Patent LRI (Lightning Rod Insulator). You are bidding on the LRI on the RIGHT side of the photo. These are both an OTIS Patent in the photo but note the one in this auction is not the one that shows in the patent drawings. The embossing is very light on the front and back of the LRI. These have been referred to as the FISHER Style but it should be known this style came well before the Fisher style in the larger insulators. The insulator also has a "V" groove in the crown top for the wire or rod to be placed in. Also of note is the fact that it is a hard to pin down color. The best analogy of the color would be a Bright or glowing Light yellow yellow green or Lemon Lime, just an odd color but good looking. Ask questions early and we will be glad to answer your questions promptly. Damage Report:      There are chips on the base lip from the mounting bracket and an open bubble in the same area. There are a couple annealing lines but is not considered as damage from use. Still a very desirable insulator for rarity and color rarity. Overall condition is VNM.
