About this title

Synopsis

A curated guide to 700 insulators, for both beginner and advanced collectors.

There are over seven hundred color photographs capturing the fascinating range, each with a descriptive caption to guide both the beginner and advanced collector through a huge assortment of designs and manufacturers.

Ever since the first telegraph line was constructed by Samuel Morse in 1844, glass, plastic, and other insulators have made it possible to carry telegraph, telephone, and electrical power lines over vast distances, connecting the world. With this book, capture the beauty found within this colorful and historical hobby.
