Looks like another pine green insulator. I was hoping it was green green but no such luck. It is a somewhat small insulator at just under 4" tall but not as small as a telegraph insulator. These were made for telephone lines up until 1921 when Brookfield went out of business. Makes this a genuine antique.

The nice thing about insulators is that you can never have too many.
Never too many. Agreed.
Green is the best glass. Fight me.
Thank you very much racer4four. It used to be bite me, fight me makes more sense.
