I left the National with a week to kill, and after seeing what was dug up at
the Hemingray dump, I decided to stop by and see what really was there. All I
knew was that it was in Muncie, Indiana, and when I got there I started asking

really appreciate everything you did for me. I've been reading some of the back

At a recent flea market, a woman approached my table where I had a variety of
insulators for sale. She looked over my "ware" as if she was an
experienced collector. Then she picked up the only sun colored purple insulator

Dear Dora,
I've recently been stationed in Oahu, Hawaii, with the Navy. I've attended a
few swap meets here and came across a new threadless insulator. According to the
