I went to a local auction Saturday and decided on the way back to go through a small town to look for antique shops. Well I stopped at one and low and behold the guy worked for the local town owned phone company. I asked if they had insulators and he said thousands. He showed me the insulators taken down from the lines in 1974 and still had them .I didn't see a single insulator worth over a few dollars but did buy a nice Hemingray blue No. 12 just to show some interest. There were Brookfield's kegs,, O.V.G. co., Brookfield102's, Hemingrays 9,12,56,tons of 42's,45's, etc.

The truck is in excellent condition and was a Bell Telephone truck. 1949 Ford?
