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.

Working on Issy's collection

Well it has been slow going lately. Been on the hunt for some interesting insulators but found this lovely bottle that says Thomas Edison on the side. Thought it was a nice little find. Issy is as excited as ever about her collection. She is now asking us for certain colors and hopefully we will be able to find them. I am hoping over the summer to help build her a small show case for the ones she likes most. Hopefully it work out.

This is one of our most interesting finds thus far. It's color is very hard to verify. It is a CD: 162 with Primary Embrossing being H. G. Co. also (f-skirt) H. G. Co. / Patent May 2, 1893 (R-skirt) Petticoat, it is in great condition no cracks or such. We are leaning toward saying the color is a sneaky green, it is very lovely.

Little I's Personal Collection

Little I's insulator collection is growing again. She Keeps all of her insulators on her dresser. She has several different kinds. Hemingray of several different CD numbers, AM. Co., Brookfield, and others. She is very proud of them. I am so proud of her. For a three year old she takes such good care of them. Her favorite is her purple ones followed by her smaller sized ones. She calls the small ones her baby insulators. I am hoping that one day she can enter one of the young collector shows. I think she would enjoy it almost as much as her father would. I hope very much that she stays interested in this. It is a very special collection and will give her something she can continue to collect well into adulthood that will have sentimental value as well as money value.
