Book Description

August 1, 2003
Price Guide for "Insulators - A History and Guide to North American Glass Pintype Insulators" contains nearly 13,000 entries listed by CD number, embossing and color for each embossing. Each CD number has a scale drawing or photo to assist with identification. An expected retail "price range" is given for each listing. The continuous spiral binding allows the book to lie flat for reference work.

Appendices to cross reference Manufacturer style number to CD numbers, Primary Embossings to CD numbers, and insulator patent dates and the insulator Consolidated Designs (CD numbers) upon which they are embossed are also included.

Also priced are battery rests, spools, miscellaneous glass insulators, commemorative insulators, private issue commemorative insulators, saleman miniature insulators and private issue miniature insulators.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very thorough guide to insulator prices and embossings, June 17, 2000
By 
John W. Graham (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This Price Guide is an absolute must-have for insulator collectors. The Price Guide is designed to provide an extensive listing of each of the known styles of North American pintype insulators. In sequential ascending order, each consolidated design (CD) number is listed with all confirmed embossings, colors, and market value estimates. The guide is meant to be used along with the McDougalds two-volume reference set. This price guide is the most accurate, up-to-date guide available for insulators. Each insulator is accompanied by a scale drawing to aid in identification. The guide also includes various cross reference charts to further aid in classification and market value assessment. Threaded pintype insulators, threadless insulators, commemorative insulators, battery rests, glass spools, nail knobs, guy wire strains, miniature insulators, and other miscellaneous glass are covered in extreme detail. A special insulator-embossing specific font is used to show embossing errors, symbols, and logos. Add this price guide to your bookshelf...you won't be disappointed.
