Vintage Glass Insulator Coaster

Glass insulators are no longer manufactured. Some glass insulators are over 100 years old. Each one is unique. Glass insulators are relics of an old technology found mostly along old rail and abandoned telegraph lines; they have a historical significance to the telecom industry worldwide. The oldest insulators pre-date the Civil War and were produced until the 1970's. Glass Insulators as well as Porcelain Insulators come in many variations of colours. As well as made by a vast list of companies. This bag represents a piece of the TELECOM Railroad History--displaying some beautiful pieces and many, not all, names of manufacturers. Unique gift for anyone who is a collector, a lineman & someone who appreciates the history behind them. Bag is well made-the printing has a worn vintage look to it. Will last a long time. Perfect for a carry-on bag, grocery tote, book bag, market bag, purse, gym work-out bag. Perfect for lots of uses.
