The particular flea market I purchased these insulator at are only held on holiday weekends. That would be the Stormville, NY Airport flea market for any collectors that would be interested in going. I posted insulators which I purchased over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. to freshen your memory. Anyhow, I purchased these four insulators from the same vendor as the linked insulators above. He reduced his prices a bit and thus I purchased more then I otherwise would have.

Also had the pleasure of directing him to ICON if he wanted to know more about what he was selling. He seemed pleased to know there was a place he could go to learn. At the same time he was sickened when I showed him my 2011 edition of the price guide. Thought he may have sold one that was worth much more then he sold it for. Explained to him that without the insulator he couldn't be sure unless he remembered the exact embossing and the measurements being many of the power insulators look very much alike if you just look at the diagrams. Anyhow, next time it will be on him if he lets a more desirable insulator go for nearly nothing like one of the ones he sold me in this pic : [id=342781667] . I didn't tell him what I found in his crate the last time. I didn't want vomit on my shoes. Happy Hunting All!!!
