Three Fast Suppers and Blue Monday!

 Happy Blue Monday everyone!

   

Jacob is an insulator collector.

Glass insulators were created in the 1850's for use with telegraph lines.     As technology developed so did the need for insulators.  Many styles and designs were developed for telephone lines and cable lines.  In the 1960's people started to collect them.  Many clubs were formed. local and national shows and websites.  The value for insulators varies greatly from $1-2 to $100's of dollars.  They come in hundreds of different styles, brands, and a variety of colors.  For more info on them click here.
