This week's finds...

Here are my finds of the week. As many of you know, I live in the central core of a large city, and I'm in a wheelchair. So instead of the traditional "insulator hunt" in the woods or along tracks, my hunts take me to flea markets, antique stores, and garage sales. And with several insulators in this particular batch, somebody else did the hunting for me. :)

The big guy in the middle is probably an M-2619. Not sure what U# the porcelain signal or keg are though.

Up front is a CD 102 Brookie in a nice Christmas tree-like green with plenty of amber - almost enough to make it a two-tone. Found that at an antique store for $2.

The others are a WT #1 in light aqua, a Hemi-12 in aqua, and an Armstrong's #5. All were found at various sales & flea markets.

I still have another bag of insulators not yet even opened - stuff I picked off a flea market table the other day. And so the hunt goes on... still hoping to find that CD 317 Chambers for $20 at a yard sale... ya right!! :)
