CD 162
Hemingray - 19
  • CD 134 Crown Variant
    This is the CD 162 H.G.CO. [020] and [050] variant, where the crown is smaller and shaped more like a CD 134. These are less common and were probably among the earliest CD 162s produced. Photo courtesy of Bill Meier.
Insulator Facts

Dimensions:3 7⁄8" H × 3 1⁄4" W
Primary Embossings:The Primary Embossing is typically found on the front of the insulator and usually identifies either the manufacturer (such as "Hemingray") or the company that the insulator was made for (such as "AM.TEL.&TEL.CO.")

Insulators with No Name or No Embossing are denoted as such.
Years Produced: c.1880s-1940s
Style Identifier:Hemingray often used style numbers, letters, words, or a combination to differentiate their insulator styles (such as: T.S., E2, № 1 Provo Type, Muncie Type, etc.) These are often, but not always, embossed on the insulator.

Caution: This insulator style is a common target for reproductions (modern production insulators not made by Hemingray). Please visit the Fakes and Reproductions page for more information.
Caution: This insulator style is a common target for alterations (a color or other modification not original to the insulator). Please visit the Fakes and Reproductions page for more information.
Insulator Overview

This style, nicknamed "signal", is one of the most diversely colored styles produced by Hemingray. Colors exist in practically the entire spectrum! Makes for a great (and expensive!) specialty collection. The example shown here is 7up Green. This style was replaced in the 1940s by CD 163, a slightly smaller design that used less glass.

Known Embossings (50)
Primary EmbossingThe Primary Embossing is typically found on the front of the insulator and usually identifies either the manufacturer (such as "Hemingray") or the company that the insulator was made for (such as "AM.TEL.&TEL.CO.")

Insulators with No Name or No Embossing are denoted as such.
EINThe Embossing Index Number (EIN) is a unique number assigned by the collecting hobby to each distinct embossing for an insulator design. It is normally shown in brackets, e.g. [050].
EmbossingMost common terms:
(F-Skirt): Front Skirt
(R-Skirt): Rear Skirt
/: New line of embossing
{}: Special note (not embossed on the insulator)
[#]: Represents a number

Other terms:
{MLOB}: Mold Line Over Base
(F-Crown): Front Crown
(R-Crown): Rear Crown
(F-Umbrella): Front Umbrella
(R-Umbrella): Rear Umbrella
BaseThe base is the bottom of the insulator. Hemingray made 4 different types of bases:

1. SDP: Sharp Drip Points
2. RDP: Round Drip Points
3. CB: Corrugated Base
4. SB: Smooth Base
Year AddedThis is the year that this embossing was officially recognized and added to the McDougald (1991-2008) or Briel (2011-2023) insulator price guides. It is not necessarily the year this embossing was discovered.
