On our way to Fallon, Nevada we passed the Carson Colorado railroad. Right as we passed I saw some insulators, so I made my mom stop for 30 minutes. Some were up on the telephone poles and some were laying on the ground. It was an experience climbing a pole without a ladder (I only climbed one pole). I got 3 Hemingway No. 40 and 3 plain blue insulators.

Hey John, nice get. The Hemi - 20s are about worthless unless they have an anomaly that sets them apart from the other Billion made. The 4 BeeHives are possibly good, what embossing do they have? They really should have some even if very, very faint. Let us know if you find some embossing. Jim

Hi Jim, the 4 beehives have a 12b, 7, 13, and a 16. Are these more rare?

John, I'm still confused as to exactly what you have. Can you email pictures of each one? 1st the numbers / letters, then a close up of each piece straight on. Fill the viewfinder with the insulator. Please look at my profile to get my email address. Jim
