Here is another small bit of my collection. Most of these I traded other collectors for online, at shows and at flea markets. While some folks may think that being a dealer is not proper for the hobby because of the profit angle, I feel it is beneficial to the hobby because it allows others to acquire insulators that otherwise were not available to them thru collections found and pieced out, it allows us to trade, barter and deal with others for our own collections, and, it also, in the act of trading at shows and such, lets us interact, mingle and make new friends at a personal level. I definately say "yes" that being a dealer and collector is not unlikely and is not a bad thing for the hobby. That's a yellow no name Telecom CD 203. |
