Common Insulators Wanted

Postby Robin Plewes » Tue Jul 13, 2010 6:20 am

Hi All:

This title should catch everyone's eye ;)

I am looking for commons. I am interested in swapping for ( or perhaps buying ) common styles in vnm condition.
Any colored 154s, any 152s, 214s, 203s, colored 106s, colored 162s, 165.1s, 121s and 113s.

I might look at cd155s and cd154s in clear and cd145s.

I do want porcelain signal style insulators also.

Other glass by chance. I do not need 128/129s :roll: ... Sorry.

I'm located just west of Ottawa Ontario and as you might figure, the biggest part of this effort is going to be who is driving where and when.

Send me a note if you have any thoughts and we'll see what can be done.

Have a good one ........ Robin

Hi Robin - I've got a good bunch of them again that have built up since the last time I traded with you. I'm sure we could work something out. My only request is that you take them all ;-)

Thanks.

Hi Robin

I have a lot of boxes of commons I would like to get rid of including 102, 121, 143, 145, 154, porcelain, etc...

Give me an email if interested

Re: Common Insulators Wanted - Take II

Hi All:
Aside from Brett and Chris's replies, I need to narrow down the requirements to just cd154 and cd155 styles now.
If anyone has some in vnm condition and want to move them along, send me a note and we'll see what we can hammer out.
Trucking them is the main consideration here.
Have a good one .......... Robin

Robin,

I have 4 CD154's [020] in ice green and can grab about 20 clear 155's.

I am heading to the GTA on Thursday or Friday via Hwy 7 and can drop them somewhere along there, maybe in a ditch :)

Re: Common Insulators Wanted - Road Trip

Postby Robin Plewes » Thu Sep 02, 2010 6:09 am

Hi All:

I'm planning a road trip to Newmarket from Ottawa with a truck. If anyone knows of more commons to be had between here and there, I'm interested.
If anyone wants to meet me along the way with commons, we might be able to work something out. It will be a long day for me, but there should be room for more insulators. Who knew I'd be making the effort for stuff I've left behind for years? :)

Email me if you have any thoughts on the subject and we'll see what happens.

Robin

Hey Robin,

What's up with the common insulator accumulation? :)

Need to fill a pit in the back yard? lol

Hi John:
I certainly have a few 100 for the "pit" now. Not sure what to do with those pieces. Outside storage for now though.
If everything falls into place, these specific commons are going for crafts and art work. There's a lotta work at my end for this to happen, but I view it as being similar to looking for threadless. Given the effort, I should be able to afford a nice insulator for the collection next year some time. :)
Good to hear from you ............ Robin
