If you want a road trip, there's always a show and sale to attend. There was one in Fresno on Saturday, another in Cayucos May 18 and 19th. A good way to get the wife to attend that one is "How'd you like to take a nice, scenic drive up the north on the PCH?" There's also one real close Oct. 6 in Grand Terrace. You'll see a great array of glass, and the prices will be right, with the ability to dicker. Anything in particular you are looking for, or is it whatever catches your eye?

Shawn: Thanks so much for the great information. I will definitely RSVP to the event in Grand Terrace in October. I am particularly interested in EC&M SF insulators. The history behind these insulators is very interesting to me. I recently read on line the article "A Taxonomy of EC&M Insulators: Mastering Your ABC's." by Howard Banks. It would be really cool to have one great example from every mold style of the EC&M's. One recently sold on ebay for $351. I don't know if this was a good price or not. I will have to educate myself on the pricing of these. I know that they can be very expensive depending on the mold style and condition, especially mold E where only a handful have been found. It would be great to find an EC&M for the first time. Alas, since I work long hours I will have to limit myself to finding them on line or at shows. Any suggestions on legitimate on line source for these? It would be great if the show in Grand Terrace might have EC&M's available. Thanks Again for all of your help! Dan
