This is not about the insulators as much as it is about the picture. I chatted for some time with the owner who simply said that 'they've been there a long time and nobody here would steal them'. This is a google street view taken in 2009. Quite by accident I happened to walk past this house last week - 2018. Picket fence and all insulators still perched comfortably on top 10 years later. At any moment I expected Sheriff Andy Taylor or Barney to walk around the corner. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would never have believed it was still possible to find small town honesty existed anywhere in north america. The insulators ?, taken out of service 50 years ago by her father. Some early CP cabletops -no two the same colour and many older pieces I can't recall having seen before.
