Insulators - A History and Guide to North American Glass Pintype Insulators Price Guide

13,000 entries are listed by CD number, embossing and color for each embossing. Each CD number has a scale drawing to assist with identification. An expected retail "price range" is given for each listing. The continuous spiral binding allows the book to lie flat for reference work. Appendices to cross reference Manufacturer style number to CD numbers, Primary Embossings to CD numbers, and insulator patent dates and the insulator Consolidated Designs (CD numbers) upon which they are embossed are also included. Also priced are battery rests, spools, miscellaneous glass insulators, commemorative insulators, private issue commemorative insulators, saleman miniature insulators and private issue miniature insulators. For the first time, the price guide will include four color plates containing 60 photorgraphs, featuring many of the colors that provide a representative sample of insulator colors. Also, in response to many comments from price guide users, the drawings have been included in the text of the guide rather than in appendices at the end. We have also increased the thickness of the covers in order to make the book more sturdy.
