Ryan Smith and his dad, Kyle, of Snyder, Texas are fairly new to the insulator hobby. They are working hard and having some fun putting an insulator exhibit together for the Scurry County Museum. It will be shown in September and October. "We enjoy the hunting, classifying, and the history of glass insulators and hope that many area residents will recognize the places in the pictures that we have in the exhibit. Many of the insulators we will use for the exhibit are ones that we found in west Texas. There are still quite a few lines up that went out to the oil fields." 

To make the display even more interesting they have purchased some special insulators. They will be showing us pictures of their exhibit in an upcoming issue. Ryan received a lighted glass display case for his 12th birthday. His favorite insulators are CD 102's and is dreaming of someday owning one in midnight blue.

This set of lines in Southern Scurry County mainly contains Hemingray 42's and 19's. We have spotted some CD 151's too. Look what we see in the trees. (Below, right) This is a abandon gin in Fisher County. If you water a pole correctly it will grow up through anything.
