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] . Shown here are the different 102 Brookfield ponies I picked. All but the snowy CD 101 came out of the basement. The 101 No.9 was found in a nearby thrift store. It is the second insulator from the right. Also inculded in this pick all the way to the left is a nice olive green CD 112 Brookfield. Has base trouble yet displays VNM from front side.

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??
