Here is my haul of baby signals, CD 160, and other insulators from the Sacramento estate sale of a long-time Western Pacific RR/ Union Pacific RR employee. Missing is a bucket of heavily stained California baby signals. Another gonzo Cal collector and ICON member was at the sale and purchased another hundred Cal baby signals. He traveled nearly 500 miles from Southern California to attend this estate sale. I did a census of my purchase and the other buyer's purchase. There were no blues, aquas, yellows or peaches in the collection. Just three green ones, a handful of darker purples, and a fair number of 2-tone baby signals: grey and purple, sage green and purple, and multi-green ones. Some I will eventually put up for sale or trade. |
