Seriously, it's copper wire, most often of small gage, insulated only with a very thin layer of clear (sort of amber/brown) enamel. It is used primarily for coil or transformer winding, where the added thickness of "norma" insulation would occupy too much space, allowing fewer turns of wire in the same volume. Most any largish electrical/electronic supply house will have it. Dave dbell@cup.portal.com
