Letters to the Editor
Reprinted from "INSULATORS - Crown Jewels of the Wire", June 1984, page 25
Dora,
In the Fall I found a threadless insulator 2-7/8 H
- 2-3/8 W with a square hole. Not much is known of this type. Not many people
have seen one. Mickey Dutcher of Cortland, N.Y., thinks it is a real Jewel.
Picture enclosed. Maybe someone can help identify it. I am a new collector.
Thank You.

Herman:
I
think it's a real Jewel also. Congratulations to you on your find.

Dear
Dora,
Enclosed is a photograph which I took north-west of San Antonio, Texas, in
the "Hill Country". It is certainly being resourceful.
Sincerely,
Frank Shiels
Dora,
I am enclosing photos of some porcelain power company signs
in my collection. With the growing interest in these the past couple of years, I
thought perhaps you would want to run them in Crown Jewels.
The SOUTHEASTER (from cover - see below) is one of the nicest power company signs I've yet seen. It is green,
yellow and black and measures 16-1/2 by 11. The OHIO EDISON is red, black and
white and measures 36 in. in diameter. Almost all of these were taken down many
years ago, being replaced by a similar painted sign, most of which have also
since been replaced by a more modern Edison sign. The PGE sign is red, white and
blue, being 14 in. in diameter. I have been told it is also found in a much
larger size, as well as a smaller version.
