Subject: Glass Insulators

[ AzTeC / SWA SASIG ] :
 
SWA will add to it's pages a web site called <a
href="http://www.insulators.com/">Glass Insulators</a>.  The site provides
interesting information about glass insulators.  More importantly,
associated personal pages reveal the minds of collectors.  It seems these
collectors travel the rail lines and back country in pickups and on mountain
bikes.  Most search for old telephone poles.   As "long as there are no more
wires" on the pole, they collect the insulators.  <a
href="http://www.insulators.com/personal/kchapman.htm"> One collector</a>
confides that he is in it for the chase and not the artifact; he practices
'catch and release' insulators  -- leaving some insulators behind for the
next collector.  <a
href="http://www.insulators.com/personal/danthony.htm">Another collector</a>
reveals his technique for removing insulators from tall poles.  Many
personal pages describe insulator pricing.
 
Most of the collectors seem to be average 'joes' and janes' interested in
history and artifacts.  Rare in their vocabulary, however, is the idea of
landowner permission, whether the property is public, state or private.  The
concepts 'thou shall not covet' and 'thou shall not steal' seem not to
apply.  A brief story in the January 15, 1997 edition of the <a href
="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/">New Times</a> reveals similar attitudes
among metal detectives (persons who use metal detectors).
