Lot 162: Holmes Tree Bracket w/ CD 160 BROOKFIELD Insulator  Color: Metal and Glass  Description: This is a patented Holmes Tree Insulator bracket which would screw into the side of a tree. What's especially desirable about this piece is that it still has the wood and metal insert that goes into the pinhole. A split-ring porcelain insulator allowed the wire to be inserted and the corresponding metal clip could be tightened to hold it in place. 3/8" square chip on the porcelain ring. 3/8" chip on the base of the insulator and a little drip point chipping. The wire that holds the insulator onto the bracket has been replaced. What makes this especially unique is that it has both the bracket and the threaded insert; the latter is very uncommon.
Estimate: $300 - $400  Open: $1
