I'm a returning member. I collect CD 128 insulators and just posted my collection at http://www.straightsides.com. My focus at the moment is straight-sided 128s -- variants with concave skirts will be added at a later date.
The site currently features insulators from North America (Armstrong, Hemingray, Kerr, Pyrex and Whitall Tatum) along with several from South America (mostly unembossed pieces from Argentina and a few SAFNV from Uruguay). Some experimental Hemingrays and unembossed Whitall Tatums will be added shortly.
An insulators "In the Wild" section will be updated over the next several weeks showing CD 128s in service around the world. There are some photos of more common 128s that are still on telephone poles in Canada. I will be adding photos in the near future of some pretty nice glass that was in service in Argentina up until about 20 years ago. If you have any photos or stories you'd like to share, please contact me using the Contact form on my website.
I've collected insulators since the early 80s and have recently moved into the CD128 style because of the range of color as well as the affordability of some of the rarer items.
