I just started to collect insulators. So it's a small collection with common insulators, except maybe the black porcelain one that I don't know... The railroad where I go for my insulator hunting is in the beginning of a very important line for linking the New-Brunswick, Nova Scotia (etc.) to the rest of the Canada just before the creation of the Dominion of Canada the July 1st, 1867. So the telephone line is very old and his insulators too! The 154s dates probably from the 20's or the 30's and the 155s, from the 40's. I don't have any idea of the age of the procelain...

From left to right:

- The 3 first ones: CD 155 Dominion No° 42 - Clear ; CD 154 Dominion No° 42 - Clear ; CD 154 Hemingray No° 42 - Aqua ; Unknown porcelain insulator
