Another strange insulator found on this line. This one had the two middle skirts broken. It took me two trips to rake the area enough to find all the pieces!

I'll be showing lots more pictures like these at the Line Hunting seminar at San Jose... including sharing the techniques for finding all the pieces of the broken ones, and then how to restore them. Sometimes you have to do that to get a specimen for your collection as in many cases no whole ones have survived! This is the only one of these I have ever found, and I only know of one other in existence. The next photo shows it restored...
