From my collection!! 

Here is a great looking Tri-Level U-825 Ceramic Insulator with it's original TIE WIRE.  This insulator weighs about 3 pounds...a hefty piece!!   This one is the first of two similar units..the second is minus the tie wire. 

It's marked with the maker's name LAPP and has it's model number (5840) and it's date of manufacture, 1931

Condition...It's just about flawless. 

All photos are taken in natural light...(the last photo is of the second similar piece). It is a really nice looking insulator...a great display piece.

I'm NOW asking $32 plus shipping.
