This great looking Porcelain Insulator setup comes from near Israelite Bay in Western Australia. It is a "Slaters Acme" with screwed peg and cast bracket. It was one of very few found along an old disused telegraph line that was in operation from the 1880's to 1917. It was uncovered from its sandy grave and is one of only a very few found along the full length of the line. This was very kindly sent to me by Ann & Richard Millard, with whom I swapped insulators for this great piece. The photo after this one is of the Israelite Bay Telegraph Station in its hay day. I would love to know more about Slaters Acme. |
