    Who collects Glass Insulators???

    Just wondering who all of my TNet friends collect glass insulators. I have a decent size 500 piece collection and am thinking about downsizing and specializing in a certain style. I haven't got any high end pieces, but I have several not so common pieces. If anybody is interested I may list some for sale here on TNet. Let me know.

    No threadless pieces. Some earlier threaded stuff. 1871 Patent Hemingrays, early Brookfields. Some later stuff with color. Hemingray, H.G.Co., McLauglin, Maydwell, Gayner, Star, Brookfield, Whitall Tatum, Am.Tel.&Tel., etc. Nothing to high end, but several harder to find pieces. And of course I have lots of common stuff. I will try a few of the more select pieces on here in the for sale section and see what happens. I was just trying to get an idea of how many collectors might be on TNet. The www.insulator.info website has a forum but it is very awkward to use. I frequent this forum much more often.

    There was a Insulator collector in Cocoa, FL named Blackie who had hundreds of them but it was 20 years ago. Here is a website for Insulator Clubs: http://oldinsulators.com/insulatorin...ml/groups.html
