- Telegraph insulators with a clear glaze on a white ceramic body with the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) monogram. This object would have been used along the Canadian railway. The insulators have been threaded and are designed to sit loosely upon a wooden pin. This style of insulator was a later, more modern version, manufactured in a beehive shape with a threaded interior cavity, which was then turned securely onto a matching threaded wooden pin. This allowed the insulators to remain securely in place so that they wouldn’t pop free staying locked into their wooden pins. The insulator has “C.P.R.” monogram has been stamped/printed in black ink on the tip of the body, which would have faced upwards when screwed into the wooden pin. Around the circumference of the body there is slot or groove formed into the insulator where the wire would have been wrapped around the groove.

(b) The wooden base, acting as a pin, has two holes through the body to adhere it to the posts. The wood base also has screw threads cut into the body so that it can be affixed to the ceramic insulator. The size of the wooden pin would have depended greatly on the voltage to be isolated and the weight of the span of wire to be supported.

- A spoon and plague attached to a wooden base. The base is 34.0 cm in length and 11.5 cm wide and has the spoon attached using a screw and bolt locking it in place. Only one of the screws is still intact and is located at the spoon’s bowl. One can see that there would have originally been a screw affixing it to the base at the top of the handle. However, it is no longer in place and can therefore be swiveled back and forth. At the top of the handle “C.P.R.” has been engraved in script style writing. At the bottom of the wooden base there is a plague with the engraving “Presented to Nicholas Morant For conspicuous service to Canadian Pacific Corporate Archives 1 June 1981”. The plague is affixed to the base with 4 decorative nails that do not pierce though the wooden base. On the rear of the object there is a piece of hardware in the form of a round picture hanger that would allow it to hang on the wall.
