Info. needed on insulators - 6/30/2008 9:47:37 PM    Wilkie   Posts: 271 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: online I am not really an insulator collector, however, as most other bottle collectors, I have a few laying around.  I'm going to post pics of the ones I have and I hope someone can tell me about them, ie. age, value, scarcity.  My guess is they are all common but I would love to hear from an expert.  Here is the first pic. #1) WHITALL TATUM CO. NO. 1 (front in a straight line) / MADE IN USA (back) #2) WHITALL TATUM CO. NO. 1 (front in an arch) #3) WHITALL TATUM CO.

Cd #'s are the style numbers giver to the different types of insulators.  In most if not all cases they are different than the style # given to an insulator by the company that made them.   You can find out moreabout cd#'s at www.nia.org _____________________________ Let me know when the telegraph companies want their hemingray-42's back! bryan (in reply to Wilkie) Post #: 7
