We rescued a couple handfulls of glass insulators last year when the UP went through and took the code line down in town here. What were going to do with them I don't know, but we have them.

old transmission pole with Hewletts has 13kv section tapped off to connect to distribution lines, with a sideways switch. CHG&E.

Also shown in the pic 'Part of A Small Collection' . This is the insulator that Connecticut Power lines was wondering about the embossing on it. got it out for a closeup shot and now noticed the saturn ring logo which now I am wondering who the maker is.

An old glass electrical insulator and crossarm pin from my collection.

Glass insulators left to right: H. G. CO. PAT d MAY 2nd 1893 PETTICOAT N. A. T. CO., HEMINGRAY - 19 MADE IN U.S.A., HEMINGRAY NO 19 . (Note: there are some variations in upper and lower case that my keyboard won't reproduce.)

The fuse cutout they installed. The grey tube is the actual fuse, the ring lets them operate it with a hook pole. The original tap on the main circuit for the branch line was on the right of the insulator.

Unmarked porcelain "signal" insulator found along the former Milwaukee Road at Rutledge, Iowa.

I am always looking for large glass Insulator collections to buy for our lights. Today I hit the jackpot! Great time in East Tennessee today and look forward to returning next month. Check out our lighting made from vintage telegraph Insulators. www.GlassInsulatorLights.con

A model pole with Hemingray & Whitall Tatum insulators..

These are my very 1st insulators I found and are a Hemingray 42 and a Kerr and were found along a railroad many years ago.. I mounted them together and made a little display..

These are my first insulators that I found in the wild and near a train track not too far from my house. My Aunt drove me to the tracks so I just grabbed what I could. There was a pile of poles,crossarms,and a dumpster on the other side of the road but I didn't was to risk it.. I plan to go there again some other time. All the glass ones a Hemingrays. Anyone know what the Spool insulators on the upper right coner are made of and from?? There some solid insulators that almost look like cement (??) These were laying on the ground mostly a few feet away where the bases of the poles were standing,some of them are chipped but I still wanted them. I did see some pretty looking Hemingrays but they were busted.

old sub with new breakers added.CL&P.

OK- I'll try to explain. These are vintage glass signal insulators from a railroad placed on a glass mirror and photographed. Weird, I know!

Unusual porcelain uniparts, 2 clamp types, johnnyball,3 glass ones, and 2 widowmakers (GE & Pass & Seymour), found in my collection.

A 44kv subtransmissin line with the older multipart insulators.. Duke.. All the photos with "*20" go together.

with those old oil switches on the secondary feeders. Looks like they build the sub- development follows. In New York, they built the IRT Flushing Line in 1917 and development followed. Taken from hdl.huntington.org website, Southern California Edison photos. pic taken 1928.

The display updated with a few different things.. I was hoping for better light but is in the shade til leaves fall..

A Call Director and Six-key phone in my collection. These were once common sights in offices and were the workhorses of business communication until being replaced by electronic systems.
