Title:
Yellow—green Screw—cap Electric Insulator with Wire
Description:
A yellow—green glass electric wire insulator with a medium gauge wire wrapped around. The insulator is cylindrical—shaped with a dome top and hollow interior with threads for screw—on attachment. The upper mid—section of the body has channel around which a wire is doubly wrapped around. This wire is actually two wires that are wrapped tightly around, each piece of wire wrapped around the insulator and then around itself, appearing to be two wires wrapped around each. However, they are actually separate, but contacted together. Embossed on the side of the insulator is, "Brookfield" and on the top the number, "2".

Presumably associated with the Alaska Treasure Mine which was located along Nevada Creek south of Douglas, Alaska,
