Lot 142: CD 140 OAKMAN MFG. CO. Color: Rich Blue Aqua Description: Excellent condition, especially given the size of this insulator, which has the nickname "Jumbo." Base embossed "OAKMAN M'F'G CO. BOSTON." The Oakman Manufacturing Company, which specialized in high voltage distribution insulators, produced CD 140 "Jumbo" insulators for the first underground trolley system in the United States.
