Found eight CREBS today. Six were rescued from the poles they were on and the other two were just waiting on the ground for me to find. That's not all I found either. Staring on the left, my first find (different location from the CREBS)was a Hemingray CD 162 Patented Petticoat. Next is a clear CD 162 Hemingray-19 with a flat top. Found at the same location as the Petticoat. I din't know there was such an insulator. I almost passed this one up figuring it was a regular clear CD 162 Hemingray. Only the dome was exposed coming out of the ground. I noticed the top looked flat when I looked closer. Dug it out and what a surprise. Especially that I don't have one in my Hemingray collection.

Back to the CREBS now. It seems odd to me that I find all these all of a sudden. I mean with all the talk about them on the forum and all. But anyway, from the left there is 1#1, 1 #2, 2 #3's, 3 # 6's over #7's, 1#19, and the last one the embossing is so poor I couldn't even see a shop number.

The last insulator is a Brookfield CD 162.1 in a dark teal color.

What a day and I know I left some behind. I was to close to civilization.
