Lot 144: CD 728.7 OAKMAN MFG.CO. [010]  Color: Aqua  Description: This stunning threadless insulator has the original pin in it. The insulator was covered by Samuel Oakman's patent, where a wedge was driven between a "V" in the pin such that the tops of the pin would flare out more and fit into the indents that were on either side of the pinhole in the glass. What is especially unique about this piece is that you can actually remove all three pieces of wood and see how they fit into the insulator snugly. Two 1" base flakes, 1/2" skirt flake, otherwise about very near mint. It's an uncommon insulator anyway, and the addition of the removable pieces of wood makes it a fantastic historical relic worth more than an example without the wood.
