Thanks for sharing your awesome collection! I have a huge collection myself, but it is mostly in garage shelves. One of the real keys to having a cool collection is the actual displaying of the collection. I keep thinking that when I retire from a 40-50 hour a week job, I will have time to build some cool shelving and lighting so I can get my collection inside the house to be seen more often.
@@stingray6016 thanks for watching and for the nice comments! I dreamed of having an insulator room since I was a kid. I like old fashioned fluorescent lighting overhead. It really brings out the glazes on the porcelain. I like the glass in a sunny window or a light cabinet works great also. Good luck getting your collection displayed the way you want it! 😁
Beautiful presentation! Great lighting, real care in the staging of your pieces. I really appreciate the lack of pounding music and I appreciate the pace of your video so we can see all the qualities of the pieces. Well done!
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. I really appreciate it! I just got a new iPhone and it works great! I’ll be looking forward to making many more videos in the future 😁👍
Enjoyed your video, never knew there was such a variety of insulators. I see them every day where I live and can be found at yard sales and auctions. Northeastern Pennsylvania is loaded with old poles, mostly light blue glass or white porcelain, there are a few right in the center of town along the old railroad. They are fairly common here so I never thought of collecting them.
@@free2think650 Thanks for watching and for commenting! Many rare and valuable insulators have been found in Pennsylvania. Keep a lookout for anything colorful or unusual. Some are worth thousands of dollars to collectors. Let me know if you have any questions about them in the future 👍😁
@@dirtysouthvol Thanks I appreciate it and thanks for watching! I’ll keep posting more videos about insulator collecting and antique hunting in the future 👍😁
@@HighVoltageAdventures How can I research and find some lines to start searching around my area? Knoxville Tennessee. Are there sites online to look through?
Thanks for watching! Did you see the pictures of JP also? Tell him to watch it sometime. I’m loving my new iPhone. It works great! It’s what I’ve been searching for! I wouldn’t be doing all this if you hadn’t bought me my first GoPro 😁
I have three Hemingray - 42. Clear, light blue tint, and a dark greenish one. I got them all at the same thrift store, in the last couple of years, for two to four dollars. I thought, three is a good number, and all different colors. Now I feel like I need a few more!
@@hermanhale9258 I think you need more also! They are fun to collect. I’ve been collecting them since I was 10 years old and it never gets old because so many different kinds were made and I like all of the history attached to them. Thanks for watching and commenting. I’ll make more insulator collecting videos in the future. 😁👍

Once again your video has the best photography and shows the insulators in attractive ways. 👍
Thanks I really appreciate it! I just got a new iPhone to make videos with and it works really well! Look forward to more videos in the future 👍😁
Nice video and great looking collection 👌

Loved to see all the old photos of pole lines and young Michael collecting. Super excited to see more content 🎉

Great video! Some beautiful signals in the glass case at the end of the video.
Thanks! I once owned those but I sold some to buy a new house. Thanks for watching! 😁👍
Sweet collection. I have a few small ones but just can't possibly start anything new.
I know what you mean! There’s only so much we can collect. Thanks for watching!!! 😁👍

@@HighVoltageAdventures Yes, the collecting videos make me want to get a map and go hunting.
@@hermanhale9258 let me know if I can help you figure out where to go look for them
Nice to meet you at Lakewood400 today.
@@HotfootGT It was nice meeting you also! Keep watching for more fun adventures in the future and we will see you soon! 😁👍

Great video!! Very informative 👏 🎉Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Shuggie Green! 😎
Love it!
Thanks! It was nice meeting you today and seeing your shop!
Those things sat out in the sun for decades and decades and decades... seen many a sunrise and sunset
@@Δυσνομία they did! I use to like seeing them glow in the sun on a sunny day. Especially in the afternoon before sunset 👍😁
Some insulators I will only see are on this channel.
Yeah I’ve been collecting them since I was 10 years old. You can find them at insulator shows and in catalog auctions also. Thanks for watching! 😁👍
First
Cool! Hope you enjoyed it! 😎
Let’s go hunting!!!!
I gotta wait until it gets cold again. There’s too many snakes, bugs and poison ivy out now
