"SNYDER's PATT. ELECTRIC INSULATOR" "SNYDER's PATT. ELECTRIC INSULATOR", 4" wide, 13/8" high, 18 oz, waffle bottom, smooth top cup, crystal clear. With a hand pointing to some zapping lines, there's no doubt it's meant as an electrical insulator. Piano insulator? Purple glass fluid check? Mating glass surfaces are ground; glass ends have concentric ridges, rubber-hose style. Fluid check of some sort? Came from a power collection, now it's in an insulator collection, don't mean a thing!
 
Purple glass pole top/cap? This piece, embossed "PATENT APPLIED FOR, has a wire loop with 4 eyes embedded in the lower rim (now mostly broken out); there are 4 radio strains attached to the eyes. Pole top cap? Glass is 6" tall. Emerald green threaded cap? This little cap, only 1 9/16" in diameter and 15/16" high, is embossed "PATENTED JULY 26 1910". It has a single thread on the shank (see bottom view) so is meant to be screwed into a 1" hole. Interchangeable colored marking lens for a lantern or navigation light? Idiot light cover?
