Hi there!! According to our reference materials, it's a U-1131 (Canadian Railway Communications Insulators, by Mark Lauckner). No, don't retire just yet, but keep on looking... never know what you'll find!! Good Collecting!!

THis looks more like a milk-white CD145. if it were porcelain, it would have it's markings painted on with underglaze instead of embossed into the insulator itself. so my best guess would be milk-white CD145

A porcelain telegraph insulator similar to a CD 143. These were used the full length of the CPR. You may find one near every pole. I found mine in northern Maine buried under 3" of pine needles. They were thrown off each pole sometime in early 20s and replaced with glass insulators. They sell at shows for $1 to $5.

What the heck you spend your day doing this????? I still think that I am an adopted child!:D I really think that you guys should wake up and smell the coffee, i think that you guys should open your eyes and see that you are damaging your children. When my kids ask wat their grandma did I really dont know what I am going to say...... O well i just hope that my mom will just be that voice on the other end of the phone when people ask if they can talk to me. A figment of my friends imagineation..... P.S isn't it some sorta beehive wateva? Love Renee's ever loving daughter, AKA Prince$$~~~
AND THE WINNER IS:
This is an excellent example of a porcelain cap that covered the exposed end of one four galvanized steel mounting bolts that secured toilets to the floor of the men's (or women's) room in a Canadian Pacific railroad station, circa 1923-1935 (see porcelain patent information compiled by E. Gish). The brown stains are presumed to be rust.
