BIG Insulator!!!

[frankendime]

Picked this at an estate/barn sale a few weeks ago. Asked the guy working the sale "How much?" He says "What'll ya give?" "I can't sell it and buy it too." says I. He comes back "$5" Sold! Just over 4foot tall and weighs in at 130 pounds. Yesterday I found a 12 inch diameter vintage white glass globe ceiling light and plan on making a floor lamp. Will post pics when done.

HH All!

That's a really cool idea. I look forward to seeing the finished project.

Make a light house! Be careful as you handle it. It is glazed porcelain and very brittle. It will shatter in to razor sharp pieces if it gets a tap in the wrong place.

Got it done today. Gotta figure out what kind of base...

Cool lamp post!. Looks like about a 115KV insulator.
