Porcelain Insulator News photos:

This month's PIN features several interesting multipart porcelain insulators such as a variant M-2052, M-3460 with three "blue-jean seams", a couple of early Thomas insulators with pretty glazes, an odd Thomas marking, and a new 2-part style composed of only the top and middle skirt from a M-3740. Of special note is the first report of a multipart transposition style made by Canadian Porcelain Co.
