Insulator of the Month - So Mass Tel Co
Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", June 2003, inside front cover

Collector Gary Michener says this ordinary looking CD 102 pony is his favorite insulator. What's not ordinary about it is the embossing: So. Mass. Tel. Co. Founded in the late 1870's, the Southern Massachusetts Telephone Company served Cape Cod communities until well into the 1900's. Only a handful of examples have been found by collectors. It's the rarity of this little pony that captured Gary's fancy from the time he first saw it.
