1899 era substation mounting brackets that originally had Hemingray #1 Provos on them. These came from a long abandoned transformer house in the mountains near Eureka, Utah. They were protected from the weather for years by the dry climate and by being inside a building. The brackets are oak and appear to have been manufactured as opposed to a hand made thing . The pins were turned and custom manufactured to fit the brackets . the brackets were intended to mount insulators in an offset position and were bolted to larger support beams in the building . The wood angle braces are tong and groove fit into the support arm . I think these are about the coolest early power insulator brackets I have ever run across! The two pins are also Provo related and were used with 1 3/8 " thread pinhole #1 Provo insulators

Now for the really weird thing I found in the old Sub Station building....[id=375904915]
