CD 281

CD 281
№71 High Voltage

Dimensions:	3 3⁄4" H × 4 5⁄8" W
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
Years Produced:	c.1893-1930s
Style Identifiers: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.	1 High Voltage, 2 High Voltage, 71 High Voltage, 71
Rarity Scale 0. No specimens known 1. Extremely Common (millions known) 2. Very Common 3. Common 4. Fairly Common 5. Uncommon 6. Very Uncommon 7. Rare (dozens known) 8. Very Rare (less than a dozen known) 9. Extremely Rare (2 or 3 known) 10. Unique (only one known)	Fairly Common (4/10)
Usage:	Power (Primary Distribution)
Series:	High Voltage
Voltage Rating:	15,000 Volts
Value Range: This is an estimated value range only, based on historical hobby collecting data. Insulator values vary widely depending on many factors, including embossing, color, condition, mold variations, manufacturing anomalies, and other attributes. Please visit the Hemingray Values page for more information.	$10-3500

This high voltage style is identical to the CD 183 in every respect except that this style has three petticoats instead of two, and therefore has a higher voltage rating. This insulator style also has the distinction of going through the most style numbers: №2 High Voltage, then renumbered to №1 High Voltage, then renumbered to №71 High Voltage, and finally renumbered to just 71 by the time the style was discontinued in the late 1920s/early 1930s in favor of the double petticoat version, CD 183.
