Cold, Windy Dig - 12/6/2010 7:11:32 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Went back to the toc dump for a few hours.  It never warmed up even though the sun was shinning. The wind was keeping the temperature down.  That undisturbed area was still turning up bottles, when I ran into this thing.  Appears to be a chassis of some sort.  If you notice on the right og the pic there's another piece runinng parallel to it.

RE: Cold, Windy Dig - 12/6/2010 12:33:00 PM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Thanks John,  There were a lot of different  ceramic insulators and wire strain reliefs  used in early electric house wiring.  They kept the electric wires away from the wood surfaces that they were nailed to. Judu, I wouldn't say that they are rare, but are not as common as the aqua ones.  I have found broken ones in the bottle dump,  but this is only the second whole, undamaged one in 40 years of digging. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.
