Photo taken on January 17, 2026, in #NorthernCalifornia of a broken McLaughlin No. 16 insulator. It is from the 1920’s to 1930’s era and was used for telephone or telegraph wires. The wires are still there, but I have not found one undamaged insulator yet. #photography #insulators #vintage #glass

Glass and ceramic insulator Christmas trees. A little bit steampunk?

#photographing smalls for sale was my way into #stilllife #photography. Millions of these #glass #insulators were manufactured in a time when even the most utilitarian objects were beautifully made. #Smooth #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #bnw

Ritec starts the new year as we had finished the last one with more VoltShield System application on glass electrical insulators for National Grid UK. This time we are treating nearly 1,100 190Kn insulators, the majority being suspension type and the remainder tension type. The VoltShield System is a unique and specialist service provided by Ritec International and our trained applicators around the world. It is used on-site or in the factory, as in this case. Treating glass or ceramic insulators with the VoltShield System means greater performance, reduced corona activity, reduced flashover failures, less ice accretion and potentially increased service life.
We start the new year as we had finished the last one with more #VoltShield System® application on #glass #electrical #insulators for @nationalgriduk! VoltShield means better performance & reduced #coronaactivity, #flashover failures + #iceaccretion. Read more: bit.ly/3PwNirP ⚡️🛡️

A wooden display cabinet that has a backlight and glass shelves that displays and illuminates Chris's antique telegraph and telephone glass insulator collection. The insulators come in many sizes and glass colors such as aqua, green, blues, amber, and even purple. On top of the cabinet are a variety of other insulators made from glass and porcelain.
A wall displaying Chris's antique safety sign collection that features danger electric high voltage signs from around the world. Many of the signs have lightning bolts ⚡ and skulls 💀 to be a warning to those who might not be able to read the language, but can understand that it's a sign of danger.
Hobby Friday:
Two of my hobbies are collecting antique electrical insulators and danger high voltage safety signs.
I also collect power company memorabilia (like Reddy Kilowatt) and other electrical engineering doohickeys.
