This auction is smaller than normal for us, but still has 365 lots. Most are for collectible glass & porcelain, North American & foreign, insulators. There are some insulator pins & brackets, lightning arrestors, commemoratives and other go-withs. Additionally, we have a few… not many but a few… other goodies including bottles, fruit jars, coffee tins, Indian Head pennies, worldwide Boy Scout stamps and worldwide trains on stamps.We hope you’ll take the time to view the auction. Maybe you’ll find a Christmas present for yourself. You know… the gift you really want! Presenting an auction is a community event. We thank the following collectors for providing important information and assistance specifically for this auction: Dan Culver, Dave Dangora, Curtis Erickson, Mike Gaudy, Tom Katonak, Ben Kirsten, Arne Lazzarotto, Bill Ostrander, and Roger Pollard. We especially thank the 45 folks who consigned insulators to this auction. We also couldn’t do this without these folks: webmasters Bill & Jill Meier; and Tim & Joanne Wood who come over after the auction ends and help us pack up your purchases. We also relied on the published works of the following collectors: Don Briel for the Price Guide; Bob Berry for the NIA website; Lee Brewer for his guide to CREBS; Dudley Ellis for this book on Canadian ponies; Stephen Bobb for his book on lightning rod insulators; Elton Gish for his works on porcelain insulators; and John & Carol McDougald for their histories of insulator companies. I’ve been involved in this insulator community for nearly 60 years now and it is an honor to be associated with all of you. Hobbies should be fun. Enjoy the auction..
