My collection of insulators, mostly common but probably a few more collectable. Mostly glass, some ceramic and one is made out of bakelite or similar material. Have been keeping my eye out for less common and ones I don't have to avoid getting carried away.
I was buying some license plates from a guy the other day. He had just picked up a box of the wooden and metal holders. I wanted some of those wooden ones to make a display for mine, but he wouldn't give any up..
I have some insulators displayed, but not the size of yours, They were given to me by my sister-in-law. will post later
I find them at estate sales, garage sales and antique stores. I just think they are something worth something. I know there are some selling for over $1000, one of these days I may stumble across one that is really rare.
crewnail, I hear if you find one marked US Tel. Co. or AM Tel. & Tel CO. pretty rare insulators
