How about an all purple transposition? I have never seen one! Until I built this one. I donated several purple Whitall Tatum No.1's from a stash of 27 that I found thrown under a pole when I was a telephone installer-lineman on the Oregon coast in the 1960's. I have contributed my own insulators to to the museum toward these projects but have never seeked much renumeration. To me it is the thrill of 'labor of love!' that counts.
