Default Got a threadless one!

Last saturday i got out for a walk on the old abandoned line and found this, a threadless insulatror! Ok Ok, so it's a busted up piece of glass to some people, but it's an old (late 1860's) threadless insulator. This is a cd-731 S.McKEE&Co in a great shade of blue, the book on a whole one of these is 400-500 smackers! Whew, thats alot. Now all i gtoa do is find a whole one!

Nice...I got to figure out how you find these...we do have a RR line here thats from the early 1880's...maybe I should go to the Depot on my next day off and check it out...maybe learn a thing or two...anyway, sweet looking insulator.

Louisville and Nashville Depot (Milton, Florida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
