"Surge Insulators and related items"

This very complete and educational display shows the known Surge insulators (including the very rare CD 100.2) as well as signs, advertising, and fencing equipment.  It was noted that the CD 100.2 in this display has a 1/2" pinhole unlike the other known specimens that have a larger 1" pin hole.
