I know a lot of people who collect insulators like these also. I've been trying to find one for a while for myself. A friend texted me a picture of this one asking what it was. I told him and said that I'd buy it from the person who had it if he didn't want to buy it. The person who had it says that they dug it and didn't know what it was. I acquired it today at the West Leechburg Insulator Show.

You will notice that there is a lump of rusted metal on the under side of the screw head. The ashtray is almost translucent, rather than opaque like most of the ones I've see are. It does glow under black light. It seems a little narrow, and the skirt does not flare at the bottom like the Houze ones I've seen. For anyone who collects these, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this one.
