We found a very interesting rubber insulator recently and little I just had to have it. I am not sure about it. But it seems to be part of the insulator time line. She likes. We are going to have to study more into to it to see what period it came from. Well, That seems to be it for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Hemingray no 9

Been looking around for more insulators at some of the local antique shops found a few hemingray no 9's that we liked. They are in good shape. We are going to go around to a few more shops and such again soon. You can find some really good deals like that. Hope everyone is doing great and I hope to have some more pictures of here soon of some of our newer find. Have a great day.

sioux city Bottle

Looking for insulators and came across a sioux city bottle that is pretty cool. Just thought I would share. It has a cowboy on it and after a little research I learned it is a vintage sarsaparilla bottle. Just thought that was cool. Hope everyone is having a great day. Found a few Whitall Tatums and some Hemingrays that will need to be cleaned up and identified. Let you know what we find out.

Sage Green Whitall Tatum No. 1


Our newest find..A sage green WHITALL TATUM Co. No. 1 smooth base. Cd 164 we believe. Little I Is very excited to have it. She says the color is pretty and is going to put it in her room.

On the search

Well, we are back in action around here. We have several more insulators. Only one new rare type. We are doing more research on it to find out what it is. Very excited little I is very sure it is going to belong to her part of the collection and not ours. lol. She is still very much excited about her collection that she keeps in her room. If she gets many more in there daddy is going to have to build her a new shelf. We are going to keep searching for more insulators and hopefully more rare ones. I really want a mickey mouse one that would make little I's day. Well I am out here. Momma K

just waiting

We have found a few more porcelain insulators but nothing too interesting of late. Little I is as proud as ever of her collection and is showing anyone that will look. It is still lots of fun and we will keep looking I will let everyone know if I find anything interesting.

We are still on the hunt for new colors for little I. We are hoping to take her to an insulator show sometime soon. There aren't that many held close to our area though. I have noticed in her collection that there are several shades of blue and teal that are very hard to tell one from the other if they are not in bright light. But for example in the sun light she has one that looks almost neon blue but inside looks rather plain. It is one of my favorites. I am hoping when we make it to one of the shows to see what others have and compare. So far the only thing I have been able to compare them too are ones online and our own. The pictures are wonderful but I have noticed that the lighting that they are taken in directly impacts the color that they appear to be. Issy has a light purple that in picture looks very deep purple. Well, hope everyone that runs by this has a wonderful day.
