Hey Rick and E, I don't like insulators but the local power authority was repairing the main line in front of my house and needed this one to complete the job so they made me an offer of $15K. How sweet is that? Boooooooom Baby! [:D]

you're insulator is an early New Lexington high voltage, made in... New Lexington ohio, where else. That's cool that it's got a marking on it.
Of you are of the no love for the insulator opinion... you may send it my way where it will be loved [;)]

did you make sure you haggled with the price for the insulator? You're supposed to start packing it up when you don't like their offer, then you tell them you'll just have to take it to some other power line.

...but really, i do like that insulator, and should you decide you don't want it i'd love to have it

You sure he didn't mean 15KV? [;)]

Seriously, that's an old insulator. Hope you let Brains give it a good home.

Ok,Hearing that and "Boom Baby" on here all the time is getting just about as aggravating as hearing it on the show.

Nice bottles,need to start checking construction sites around here(don't have many though)
