This mixed lot of insulator pins has a bit of everything. The third one from the left is brand new and not even weathered. It's got an extra large straight end, verses the normal diameter we see on most telegraph pins. The detached "corncob" and pin is also new never used, but it's been kicking around in an old pin barrel for years. I got it from a chum who's Father was a phone repairman years ago. The other various pins have been used in various applications. Some of the short pins are just the threaded stubs of longer pins that have been cut off. The second pin from the left is for CD 128 / CD 129 insulators. The piece of wire is the original wire that was used to hold a bundle of sidepins in a loop. The pins were looped in a circle or 10 or 12 with the threaded ends outward, much like a wagon wheel. If you collect pin hardware of just want a few pins to display your insulators, this might be the opportunity that will work for you. Asking 10.00 plus postage. Thanks for looking ....... Robin
