Rare antique H.G. Co. green petticoat-style glass insulator with the patent date May 2, 1893 — made during the brief Hemingray Glass Company transitional era when H.G. Co. markings were in use. Professionally packed for fragile shipment. Ships next business day. Full refund if damaged in transit.

H.G. Co. (Hemingray Glass Company) insulators from the 1893 patent date period are among the most historically significant in American insulator collecting. The petticoat form is distinctive — featuring a deeply flared skirt designed to improve rain runoff — and is considerably less common than the standard beehive or threadless forms. The green glass coloration adds substantial collector value over the more common aqua variants. Condition is excellent for the age.
