  Deb's Insulator Collecting Site, by Deb Fiedler, , Pasadena, MD
A relative newBEE's site, this little page highlights my entry into collecting. It includes small pages about what an insulator is, why folks collect them, etc. I think some of the best content on this site is aimed at educating other new collectors about some of the perils of collecting, including polyinsulitis and fake insulators for sale. Hopefully those sections will help others avoid spending their money on junk and getting disappointed by the hobby.
