Victor mugA SHORT HISTORY OF VICTOR, VICTOR INSULATOR AND THE

VICTOR MUG

VICTOR, NEW YORK The Village of Victor is located in Western New York State, seventeen miles east of Rochester. The Village of Victor was incorporated in 1879. At the hub of three railroads it quickly became

an industrial center of the region and is the birthplace of the wet process, high voltage

porcelain insulator. VICTOR INSULATORS

Look around you at every power pole in your area and think Victor Insulators. Virtually

all porcelain insulator companies owe their origins to the inventor, Fred Locke. He built the Locke Insulator business in Victor in 1898 and today it is known around the world as Victor

Insulators, Inc. Porcelain insulators are made of high quality clays, combined with selected

minerals, glazed with colored pigments, then fired in a 2,300 degree kiln. Standard and custom shapes of insulators are still being

produced todayVICTOR MUGS

In mid-century, Victor Insulators, Inc. added chinaware to their product line. Chinaware uses the same raw materials and production methods and was a natural fit. WWII meant huge orders from the services, especially the Navy and the Army. After the War, diners and restaurants assured a half-century of production. In 1990

production of this premier diner mug ceased due to foreign imports.

These are the originals, in original Victor Insulators, Inc. boxes not the cheaper, lighter imported copies!

This is your chance to own a piece of American history, of industrial history, of diner history and a significant artifact of our vanishing popular culture!
