NATIONAL - CD 154

Bruce says: I began collecting almost two years ago. I found a line of
Lynchburgs and I got hooked. My desire increased when I purchased some Dominions
and a two-tone Hemingray. Then it was off to Zicme's and whatever colorful, rare
ones I could find.
Joel Anderson is the reason I collect insulators. I saw his
collection, then we went collecting with our wives one Sunday afternoon. The
rest is history.
I have an exceptionally bright yellow-green Lynchburg that I
"liberated" on a recent trip to North Dakota with my Dad. It's really
fun to have a Dad, brother, nephew and daughters who collect. I'll never forget
walking the lines with my dad in 90+ degree heat.
My dream insulator to find at this year's national
was a cobalt Zicme. John Nasci had one for sale, and I bought it. I understand
its one of six in the hobby, so I'm super excited to have it. An insulator that
I would like to add to my specialty would be a CD 154 Hemingray in carnival. It
would be a great addition, and it is one of the rarest CD 154's in the hobby.
