Here are some additions to my collection last weekend. The two date stamped Pittsburg multiparts on the top step were purchased at the show. The marked Westinghouse unipart with the funky coating on the top skirt to the left of them was a gift from my niece in Warsaw Indiana. A few weeks ago she sent me a photo of the insulator from an antique store she was in, I told her to look for the Westinghouse mark and offer about half what they were asking, then we never heard anything so assumed they wouldn't sell at that price. Then her dad brought it home last weekend after he went out to visit her. She said it was a late Christmas present. We know who my favorite niece is now!

The dark Westinghouse PRR suspension and fuse cutout to the right of it were a pre-arranged purchase that was completed at the show. Lynchburg signal, junky Brookfield pony and very dark Pittsburg signal were antique store purchases during the weekend. And finally, the very attractive light glaze 3 skirt date stamped Pittsburg glazeweld cable top was part of a trade done at the show for a nice early 2 part Lima multipart we had.

Lots of different ways to acquire insulators in one weekend!
