We went to an auction in central PA last weekend that was attended by several area insulator collectors. It's a very long story but essentially there were 6 or 7 boxes of mostly common insulators with a few more desirable ones in most of the boxes, and we all came away with a box that had something in it that we wanted (and there were a few people unknown to us who also got a box). I wanted this insulator for the color, and I'm not sure what it's called...looks like solidified Coca-Cola to me. I don't care about the base damage, I just like the color. My husband picked up some electric meters at the same auction [id=506042058].
