----LARGE DISC IS SOLD----SMALL DISC IS STILL AVAILABLE----Here's an item just acquired in a collection that you don't see every day. It's a huge French Folembray three piece insulating disc, CD 1177, the largest of four known sizes. A very difficult item to acquire in France, much less here in North America, with only five units in captivity! A detailed account of their application and rarity can be found in the June 2006 Crown Jewels magazine, or at this link: http://www.cjow.com/archive/article.php?month=6&a=06Foreign%20Insulators.htm&year=2006 This is a big, impressive hunk of glass that will easily become a focal piece in any collection. Weighs just over 21 pounds, is nearly 17 inches in diameter and vnm+ condition. I recall the original asking price at the Austin National was $750. Price is $375 ppd and insured in the US.
