There are several items in this auction that we have never had the privilege to offer before. Two are beautiful insulators from the country of Kazakhstan. And another is a threadless insulator from Russia of which only five have been reported. We also offer a couple of jade & milky pieces from North America that we hadn’t seen before.

Like Canadian insulators? We have a large number scattered through this auction. There’s also an abundance of both U-S and Foreign Porcelain as well as Foreign Glass. This auction also offers a variety of other types of collectibles and go-withs: Signs, Ash Tray, Boy Scout Stamps, Hawaiian Coffee Tins, Battery Oil Bottles, several Fruit Jars, a few Old Bottles, and a Pennsylvania Railroad drinking glass.

We have a “Top 100”, but if you quit looking there, you will miss the bulk of the auction.

Credits: Usually in this space, we recognize the book writers and webmasters whose research makes an auction like this possible. For this particular auction, we also needed some direct input from a number of collectors in order to write accurate descriptions. Among those who helped are: Arne Lazzarotto, Robin Plewes, Dan Culver, Barrett Nicpon, and Elton Gish. We also gleaned great info from ICON postings of catalog pages from insulator manufacturers.

Hobbies should be fun. Even if you don’t bid in auctions, we invite you to enjoy the listings.

Photography note: Photographs of porcelain insulators were generally taken outdoors in direct sunshine, weather permitting.
