Major scores for the California insulator collection as a result of going to a "bottle" show. Left to right: Gorgeous, orangey peach signal CD 161, the results of a trade in the works since before the KC National; middle is a blue aqua California baby signal CD 160-- a spur of the moment trade involving a lot of begging and pleading on my part and an unpaid debt. Here is a side by side with a blue California baby signal so you can see the color difference [id=348287423]. On the right, is a peach California helmet purchased from a walk-in collector. This one was formerly from the John Marenco collection, early Mountain View lineman and collector.
