The reason I asked about insulators is, today I was servicing a sump pump in a very seldom visited basement under an old abandoned powerhouse at work.
As I stepped down off the ladder into the ooze... I found a bunch of old porcelain insulators from the high voltage lines that use to feed the powerhouse.

If anyone wants ones like this, let me know.

I have a HUGE American stamp collection. Worked on it for nearly 20 years, plus my mom had always worked at the PO. Haven't done anything with it for 10 years though. Got many totes full, all categorized. It fits my anal personality. I collect foreign currency mainly from folks I know that travel. Got a cigar box full of bills and coins from all over the planet. Also collect logo golf balls and old balls I've come across over the years. Over the past 5 years I've collected various nice doctor and dentist bills. lol

That would make a perfect cigar rest for the new Nub 4" x 250 ring gauge cigar.

thinking.....well, comedic until the launch party for it, anyway.

With the insert craze starting in the 90's, the bottom has fell out for most cards. I wanted to sell off most of my pre-1980 hockey and baseball cards at a local shop, the guy said they were worth around $600 but offered me $30 what a joke.
