One day while looking for bottles ( I wasn't even really that interested in insulators yet, this is the site that sparked my interest), I stumbled upon a seemingly ordinary bottle dump. So, I was nosing around in the dirt, looking for something worth carting home on my back, when suddenly, I noticed a strange white object sticking from the ground higher up the embankment, I grabbed it, and it turned out to be a white porcelain keg transposition insulator. This discovery prompted my further exploration, resulting in a cache of insulators, mostly just broken CD 154's and 155's, but a few Diamond pony CD 102's (of course, at the time I didn't know any of the consolidated design number gibberish, But they looked cool so I brought them back. A few days later, I decided to return to the site for another hunt. The site is a farmer's dump located less than a Km from my house, fairly modern, as plastic detergent bottles are a common thing there. So after I returned I began digging and found the most amazing thing, an insulator that didn't look like all the ones I'd seen before, because I had seen a lot of insulators before, but they had all looked the same, Nothing like this one, which later turned out to be a CD 191 "B" transposition top (front middle), thanks Mr. Bob Berry! This was my first, and currently my only "Wild" insulator discovery, what were those insulators doing there? Do you know? |
