This post covers insulator hunting on the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line which ran East from Macon, Georgia to Savanna, Georgia. The following sections were hunted including: Rocky Ford, GA (West); Rocky Ford, GA (East) toward Dover, GA; and Dover, GA toward Halcyondale, GA (both West & East). Highway 17 tracks the Central of Georgia Railway line East toward Savanna, GA.

This post covers another unique insulator which was found on Central of Georgia Railway telegraph lines and added to my collection. A CD 104 Pennycuick style insulator was found in small numbers in the section East of Rocky Ford, GA. This CD 104 had no embossing, 3 piece mold, typical Pennycuick threads and has a glass button on the top of the threads. The colors are light aqua to blue aqua and most had many small bubbles in the glass.

The unique feature of this insulator is the size. It is much larger /taller than the normal CD 104 insulator that are thought of as a telephone toll insulator and not a telegraph insulator. I wonder if a new CD- might be needed based on the large size and the flare skirt. To illustrate size, I will post pictures which compare this CD 104 with the other Western Union style telegraph insulators found in Georgia (i.e. CD 126, CD 127, and CD 126.3). This picture shows size versus the typical CD 127 & CD 126.3 styles.
