🔴 Only 1 set available. Rare matched pair.
A matched pair of antique Hemingray petticoat-style glass insulators in aqua, both bearing the patent date May 2, 1893. The petticoat design — with its distinctive double-skirt silhouette — is one of the most visually striking insulator forms, and genuine 1893-patent examples in matched pairs are genuinely difficult to find.
The May 2, 1893 patent date places these at the Hemingray Glass Company during a significant transitional period in American telegraph and telephone infrastructure. Both pieces match closely in color and show no chips, cracks, or drilled holes.

- Color: Aqua
- Patent date: May 2, 1893 (embossed)
