50 | Pin | Brown | Wood side pin. |
55 | Pin | Slightly rusty brown. | Round base, 4 flutes, up to a threaded section that looks to be cement of some sort. Could have been poured into the insulator, then the pin inserted. This is for a CD 342 LOCKE NO 25. |
52 | Pole | Weathered brown | Single cross-arm pole. 3 pins on each side of arm. Metal braces come down to pole and screw in. This is a slightly larger arm than was on previously, so braces go down to a second bolt hole, not the original. Cross arm taken from a downed pole just a couple from where the pole came from. Adorned with 2 side pins, a transposition bracket, and a Bell System Underground Telephone Cable sign.
Sawn off at the base almost perfectly flat -- stands on it's own! |

34 | Shard | Dark Green | Dark green piece of CD 642
ISOREX / SNCF |
35 | Shard | Olive Green | Dark green piece of something
|
56 | Shards | Varied | Various pieces from the dump.
Here's what all we brought home:
1) a fire brick from the furnace
2) sagger pieces, evidently used to hold the insulators during firing
3) tan U-441 (?) VICTOR
4) white U-38 FRED M LOCKE
5) a couple smashed U-925, one with a skirt that was bent up before firing
6) a reasonable condition no name signal
7) a couple multi-part tops, one unglazed, the other a blue VICTOR
8) a cup
9) a few gutter top rim shards
10) a couple glass pieces, including one that's obviously part of a glass insert
11) a couple other shards
12) Not in the picture, but a U-520 that's rather beat up, but marked VICTOR
All rather interesting, but nothing earth shattering. But even better, I've got all the memories of a very fun day with the kids. Thanks, Mike! |
