Picking a favorite insulator can be tough. Ask Carl Scott of Crescent City, California. Carl has a great collection of California embossed insulators, of threadless glass, and much more (see inset picture on address side of this magazine). But when invited to choose just one for "Insulator of the Month", Carl chose this CD 162 embossed (front) Brookfield (reverse) No 36. While the insulator looks really crude, it's actually very well formed. But Carl says he likes it because within the glass "there's just a lot going on". He notes that you can find something different in the insulator every time you look at it.
