Saturday I went further west on Rt. 23 through the Catskill Mountains further then I've ever gone before. Was a two hour trip each way driving through a winding hilly mountain highway pass. Wasn't expecting to find to much left in the basement Zaphir Shamma discovered being he went trough the several thousand insulators twice. To refresh your memory of Zaphirs basement discovery [id=370772035] . This pic and the following are of the 18 insulators I returned home with after about one hour in the basement.

Shown here are four differnt colored green AM Tel CD 121's. The second from the left is a green/yellowish color. I actually picked up another four just like it with a backwards #13 dome. All AM Tel's taken were VNM to mint. The Brookfield toll all the way on right will fit in nice with my blotout collection. Didn't have a XO dome in that green color or style. All the rest of the insulators from my pick will be available to any interested paries in the future.

Note : I've requested that Zaphir post a few of his best finds from this basement for other Icon members to get a better look at. Being he is a relative new member he was afraid he would be viewed as a show boater. I told him I doubted whether most other members would consider that so if he uploaded pics of any he thought were especially special finds for him. Now I'm asking other members like myself that would like to see more of what he took home after his two pics to make the same request to Zaph. I'm positive he would mind an email from other members. Seemed very thrilled to me that I contacted him about his discovery and all the emails we shared since that first contact. Remember what it was like to think you were the only nut collecting insulators??
