caption_attribution_description: English: This is a Hemingray-42 insulator that I (Bill Meier 00:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)) own and took a picture of. It is a better photo than what was currently on the page so I thought I would replace it. The Hemingray-42 is defined as a CD 154 in the CD numbering system. Older versions of this insulator come in Hemingray Blue and Aqua, and newer ones in Ice blue and clear.
context_page_description: The Hemingray Glass Company was an American glass manufacturing company founded by Robert Hemingray and Ralph Gray in Cincinnati in 1848. In its early years, the company went through numerous and frequent name changes, including Gray & Hemingray; Gray, Hemingray & Bros.; Gray, Hemingray & Brother; Hemingray Bros. & Company; and R. Hemingray & Company before incorporating into the Hemingray Glass Company, Inc. in 1870. The Hemingray Glass Company had factories in Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky with main production in Muncie, Indiana. Although Hemingray was best known for its telegraph insulators, the company produced many other glass items including bottles, fruit jars, pressed glass dishes, tumblers, battery jars, fishbowls, lantern globes, and oil lamps. In 1933, the Owens-Illinois Glass Company purchased the company but retained the production facility in Muncie under the Hemingray name.
  The main plant in Muncie closed in 1972 and insulator production ceased. The complex is now used by Gerdau Ameristeel, a steel production company headquartered in Brazil.
