Here is a picture of the 3D printed rare insulator replica display I did for the 2026 Rochester Bottle show. All the insulators are to correct scale and were all painted aqua, since they are inherently opaque when created with fused deposition 3D printing. Photos of all the actual insulators with CD No's and nick names are displayed with an estimated "number known" in the hobby. These numbers were average results from a survey sent to longtime knowledgeable collectors in our hobby.

The resolution of the display picture is disappointing
