Cool... we have an insulator subforum now! Thanks, admins!
Since I know we have a fair number of insulator people here, I figured we might as well share our interests and specialties.
As for me:
1) Samuel Oakman and his Boston-area companies: Massachusetts Glass Co, Boston Bottle Works, American Insulator Co and Oakman Manufacturing Co. and any sort of insulator that we can attribute to them.
2) Foreign glass of all types.
3) Beehives (CD 145)
4) Western New York items -- just about anything from Victor, Lima, Corning, etc.
I'm also a research nerd so I'm totally into any sort of history related to the above subjects, plus telephone, telegraph, and glass making history in general.
