Lovely find, that's close to a $100 insulator! I would advise to make an effort to catch them when they fall off the pole though....I busted my best wild find (a presumably mint light steel blue Petticoat beehive) when it fell onto a concrete post hidden in the grass. Took me 30 mins to unscrew it too...

They are glass insulators from 1895, we save them because of their history. I have a few hundred ive bought or found lined up on shelves.

Wow surprised they don’t break.But nice job anyway

Well, if it is for history, good job. You should post some video with more insulators you have. It would be grate to take a look on them.

I go insulator hunting here in western Iowa, but the best thing I can find are Hemingray 40s 42s and 45s. Only once I got lucky and got a Root beer Amber Whittall Tatum on the Iowa Interstate Railway.

Cool, I operate Southeast Iowa!

Its cool that you used a stick to knock of a insulator of a pole

Click the link in the description tolearn about why we save the insulators.

Pretty cool.

that is how you tell they are old when they have wood pins to hold them

There is a dump near by here littered with these things are they even woreth keeping

That mark looks like a rock ding kids throw rocks and try to break them one time I was climbing and had reached the lower row and one that was broken in half but still sitting on the post split off and smacked me right in the face nasty cut so be careful

Hi. Can I ask why you do this? I mean, for what you need these things?

It’s a spiritual, transcendental experience. Salvaging insulators brings one closer to God in many ways.
