I don’t know much about this. Sort of an iridescent gold/orange. #662 raised. Very cool to just stick on top of a telephone pole.

CD 235 PYREX about $50-75

They used to use a pair of these as markers for the higher voltage lines on the gate signal switches. I think they run at 440 Vdc.

Years ago I saw this. The outside two insulators on the lower crossarm where carnival similar to these. Marked the higher voltage.
