Rare remnant open wire phone line

Allen County, Indiana

This shot shows a remnant lead to a single user open phone line on private property leading to a house. Looks like the open wire was cut and a small cable spliced in many years ago. The two glass insulators are CD 122 Hemingray-16 or 17.

Two wire open phone lines on old wooden side brackets were still somewhat common along the rural country roads around Fort Wayne back in the early to mid 70's. This is the last remaining remnant of an open wire phone line I know of around the Fort Wayne area.

This shot shows the next pole leading to the house.
