Green Postal insulator.

[DiggerDave in Pa.]

I found this in the river yesterday. I've only found a few with the wire still attached. I think it gives it character. Has anybody else found them like this? Thanks for looking! DD.

Looks like that wire was from the telegraph days!

Nice Find!
I only found one insulator, no wire. had the iron shaft attached though.
I find lots of the wire twists
A high voltage line rested in the saddle on top of yours.
looks like a similar 'Postal' here:

That's a cool one! I found a Hemingray 19 a while back with the wire on it, I agree it makes them more interesting IMO.
