We went to an antique store North of Pittsburgh because the owner told me she had some glass suspensions when I saw her at a local antique fair. I bought the suspensions and a couple of CD&Ps, and as we were walking out, my husband says isn't that a birdhouse cutout?

Turns out it was, and there were two of them in the shop. The owner said they came from an old lineman. No guts inside, but the plate on the front says WN Matthews St. Louis, 7500 volts, 600 amps. Looks like copper tops on them. Very fancy units.
