My buddy Alan is a real scrapper. He finds his way into every alley and backyard in town. He called me Sunday and said I better have a look at some insulators at a garage sale. This is what I found.

Most looks to be local glass, although I have never heard of the McLaughlin or Maydwell signals being used in this area. I really like these virgin accumulations. They can tell you a lot about how the lines used to be sprinkled. There is a fizzy off-clear Petto - NP, a green 40 and a CD 157 - GN, SB McLaughlin 121 and various 133's and 134's - Spokane police and fire alarm circuits, Hemi - 23's and the amber HG signal - WWP, C.G.I.Co. - Interstate Telephone, Tekoa area, jade AM TEL - Interstate Telephone, Post Falls area
