Here is another procured through 100% legal means, so don't think I picked this from a railroad without permission. Again, if you are interested in the history of this gem, I can provide details. If you send me three bucks plus shipping, I will send this aweful piece of, I mean, wonderful looking porcelain insulator. It spent its life working for the Santa Fe, so for that, I will give it some points. Had it not been for that, it would have never come home with me. It's a U something (my book is across the room and I don't feel much like getting up to look it up) and is in good shape. It has a somewhat neat glaze, not the greatest I have seen, but better than one homogeneous brown color.
