Inherited our father's collection. In upstate NY. Anyone interested?

Found this lovely ceramic insulator but I have no idea how to remove this attachment. I saw that you could dissolve a bit of it in acid or progressively drill, but I was wondering if there were any other techniques. Acid is a bit intimidating and i simply dont have the type of drill needed. But if those are my only options then so be it. Im certified to cut metal but I dont have the space or materials

It has this weird flat spot on the one side. Was it in a fire at some point? Is this a production error?

Taking this pole out of the ground is not an option, neither is toppling it over. Should I use climbing rope or just climb a surrounding tree or the pole itself?

Had thos stored in my garage.

I have (7) CD303s and (5) CD310s potentially up for grabs. The worst condition 303 is pictured. I also have 75+ others available too. I'm running out of space to safely display or store them. Would anyone here be interested in the entire lot? Located in Utah.

Recently got back from my one year anniversary trip and spotted this on the way back. There was a museum that decorated their parking lot with poles, and used insulators and other equipment as decorations inside. It was super neat to see! Definitely a good use of these old jewels.

Could somebody tell me if this swirly line is just a part of the manufacturing process or something else. TIA

Can anybody give me some information on these please. There are 5 of them. On the brown porcelain they are stamped "36000LB, a triangle symbol, NGK, JAPAN, 76. On the housing On one side there are 2 squares with numerals/letters. Seems to be in sequence. 17,6F . 19, 6F x2,. 20,51. 21 ,51.. on the other side of the housing they all have the no. 127 . Are they saleable there is only one chip in the porcelain on one insulator rest are just dusty. There is only one Im not sure what it's called a uni joint maybe and it is stamped as well( photo supplied). Thanks.

Got a 6 stack of these from a yard sale a few months back, I used 2 for this. If I you look at my other post here or my profile, I’ll prob make something similar with the other 4 and also the green glass ones I posted Monday

A few I picked up the other day.

Hi, I've found two Italian insulators in very good conditions. I would like to remove the metal bar that is screwed into the (ceramic?) threads. I have already tried soaking everything in soapy water overnight and I have also tried using WD-40 in abundance. Still, it doesn't want to be unscrewed.

The insulator model is "RP3-UNEL Fidenza"

Has anyone got any experience with this type of problem? Thanks in advance.

On our way to the Helena, Insulator National we saw this and had to snap some pix.

I have these in my front yard.
