Primary Embossing: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.
 HEMINGRAY
EIN:The 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].

Insulator Photography Tips

To ensure I can tell which insulator you have, please try to follow these 3 tips:

  1. Insulator should be in-focus. If your photos are turning out blurry, try moving the camera slightly further away from the insulator, or see if your camera has a macro (closeup) mode. Some cameras also allow for manual focus.
  2. Take the photo straight-on. Bringing the camera down to eye level with the insulator (rather than up above, or bird's eye view) is helpful for me to read the embossing.
  3. Please photograph the entire insulator. It's more helpful to me if you show the entire insulator, rather than a small portion of it. If there's a special detail or other feature you feel is important, you can use the third photo upload field titled "Embossing/Feature Detail".
