Glass and Porcelain Insulators made in Argentina.Argentinean Porcelain insulators. Our on going investigation on Insulators, part one: When talking about Argentinean made insulators, FAPA is a must. Born in 1938, FAPA was originally conceived as a porcelain china industry for hotels. This was the first Argentinean white porcelain company, and one of Latin America's finest. Their high quality items gained them a privileged position within the local and international markets as well as prestige and recognition. For more information: Email: Bob Frassinetti.

Hi Bob,

It looks like a standard post office pattern insulator, which you probably already know. I think it pre dates 1943 as the inner shed is longer than the outer. Are there any markings on the top, top slope or side other than F.C.S and what does F.C.S stand for ?

PS turn it upside down and look inside the inner shed lip, if it is a sharp internally chamfered version ther may be a number impressed.

Keep up the good work

Gary
