A few weeks back on an early Sunday morning I ran across a fellow just off Lake Saint Clair, in one of the original old affluent neighborhoods near the Ford estates whose wife wanted his "over stash" to disappear from her garage parking area. "Free" was mentioned and the pick up spot was just inside gate wall near the street so the morning coffee had to wait fearing a passer by might scoff them up before I could get there.

A cool crossarm setup with 2 RACO Dead-end Spools mounted in a single cast metal crossarm bracket, that mount in the same hole as an insulator with a metal pin and cobb. There are two dead ends next to each other.

The original iron transmission line wraps around the spool, then cloth sheathed copper wire wraps around it to CD 154's and 155's. Looking at the insulators, I would bet they are replacements given the wires are not tight around the insulators. Still cool and something different I hadn't seen.
