Here's a grouping of splices I've had in the shed for what is probably a couple decades by now. Just in case someone here in ICON land is interested, I thought I'd offer them up.

The largest measures 11" in length and originated from a power line in Northern Ontario. Its conductor is iron, which is a bit odd for a power line I'd say. It could have been used on a guy wire somehow.

There is a heavier gauges power example from the London Hydro secondaries put up in the 1910s and 20s, and the rest are all telegraph - a mix of Great North Western/Western Union and Canadian Pacific probably. The iron examples are very early - one of them originated from a threadless era telegraph pole and is likely a Montreal Telegraph or very very early Great North Western Telegraph example.

I'm asking $30 USD plus shipping for the collection. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
