He has attended a couple of swap meets and is a member of NIA and the Western Reserve Insulator Club (WRIC). He likes both glass and porcelain insulators – especially cable tops, transpositions and suspensions.


Anything with cool colors and shapes

He started collecting after his aunt gave him a book about elements. One of the pictures in the book was a cobalt insulator. He wanted to know more about insulators, so one  the end of the week he had 6 or 7 insulators.


I also met Michael and C.J. Lutson, brothers from Cincinnati, Ohio. Michael is 16 years old and CJ is 6  – he attended last year.

Michael hasn’t starting specializing in any one type of insulator but he stated that he prefers   sure was excited!

Welcome to all of our new collectors! Show and Tell

While I was walking down one of the aisles Bill Rosato was walking towards me going in the other direction and he was holding a porcelain U202A with a very interesting glaze – so I stopped and asked him about it. Now, I am not a mud collector – but even I could see that the glaze was something special. As it turns out it was pretty special and I was able to get a photo of it. Bill says the insulator came out of Manitoba many years ago and it will be up for auction in December in Bill and Jill’s Auction #151.
