Insulator Identification!
|
There are a large variety of insulators in existence. Collectors
interest has been focused on some specific areas and style numbers have been
created to assist in identification and cataloging styles. There are many
additional insulator types that do not yet have collectors style numbers.
Hopefully as collectors branch out to other specialties, additional reference
material will be developed. The following list attempts to list the
typical insulator types and materials. There are many specialty items that
may not be listed here.
