As the years pass by it becomes increasingly important for all hobbyists not to forget! We must remain vigilant both on-line and at shows. Show hosts have a special responsibility to take the time and trouble to properly remind and inform their insulator dealers of these stolen insulators. Lists from the Haltman theft and the few remaining un-recovered pieces from the Yuhas theft are available on www.OldInsulators.Com and should be distributed among our dealers at every show. Some of the missing insulators are both historically irreplaceable and fantastically valuable to the hobby. Please take the time to be aware and make sure your fellow hobbyists are also equally aware. Any of these pieces could appear at any show or on-line at any time.
If you are contacted by anyone selling or offering a look at ANY kind of assortment of great insulators regardless of the ‘story’ behind them – especially any deal that sounds too good to be true – Just get their contact information, make some excuse for needing to get back to them, and immediately pass the information to one of the NIA officers listed HERE.
Also for you avid e-buyers out there – Keep a close lookout for the good stuff popping up at on-line auction. Be especially wary of unknown or new sellers offering great insulators at ridiculously low PayPal only, Buy It Now prices.
