Here is the best insulator find a 14 year old boy can ask for. Yesterday, I was visiting an antique store owned by my parent's friends up near Greenville, Maine. she had bought it from her uncle. He drove from Maine to Arizona in the winter, and back in the spring, stopping at about every yard sale, flea market and antique store along the way. It's a rather small shop, yet the population of antiques is about 10-20 per square foot. If he sold something, he would go down cellar, or up stairs, and find something or a duplicate of the thing he just sold, and fill in the space. The place is FULL! Anyways, the insulator part of the story. In the back is all the insulators. (He also has some up stairs, and down...) I got a couple good ones. My first CD 160, a 201 Hemi, a CD 145 GNW, 153 Gayner with Sharp drips, and some other stuff. Then, my dad found the spot with the spare insulators. That's where I found all the stuff I just told you about. But then, I saw something in the back. "Oh, that must just be, such and such" I thought. I reached way back into the cupboard, and pulled it out... A CD 206.5 HARLOE CLAW! NO CLAWS MISSING, ONLY DAMAGE WAS A SMALL BASE CHIP! I just about died right there. I knew exactly what I had. Well, I thought it was the 109 version at first. I spent 10 minutes lying on the floor, shaking, (That's what I do every time I get a good insulator, but believe me, this is the first insulator I've found to this rarity.) trying to decide what I was going to do. I couldn't just walk out of the store paying 10 bucks for it; they were friends! I couldn't do that. I told them it was worth 2,000 dollars, (Remember, I thought it was a 109!) It seemed that they didn't believe me, but they knew I knew what I was talking about. I did tell them today that is was worth around 3,500-4,000

The sad part: I did not take that insulator home. I probably won't in quite a while. She is going to keep it, but It is withing reach. I get to see it when ever I want. It's in a safe place. I asked her if she wanted to put it on loan at my museum. Anyways, here's the picture of it. I took many pictures of it, but all but one turned out blurry. Don't pay any attention to the date on the photo. Believe it or not, that's the second Harloe to be found in the area. An engineer for the Canadian Pacific, residing in Greenville found one in the bottom of a box of bottles. Anyways, there's my story.
