A guy answered my ad a couple of weeks ago. He's a backhoe operator and had dug up some insulators. I thought they might be something really exciting. Finally got to see what he had. Turned out they weren't super exciting but kind of neat from a historical perspective. They were dug up in an area across the river from downtown Pittsburgh. All have the original wire on them. All are Star insulators. All but one have serious damage (probably frost pops from being buried). But they are all nice colors.
