This CD 257 Hemingray "Mickey Mouse" helmet in electric blue is just one of nine such mice owned by Charles Brandon. (See picture on the address side of this magazine.) Charles reports that they were used in the Kansas City area. The CD 268 Crown shown with all nine mice is also proudly owned by Charles. The Crown was found on a barn in New York. Charles tells the stories of these insulators, plus his personal odyssey through the hobby of insulator collecting, on page 10 of this issue.
