I am also slowly building up a library of back issues of "Crown Jewels of the Wire" magazine, as I find them. I also have a few issues of the old "Canadian Bottle and Stoneware Collector" magazine that had a regular column on insulators. I have a few duplicate issues of Crown Jewels that are for sale on the Insulators for Sale page.

This magazine was a quarterly publication that featured a regular column covering insulator related topics written by none other than Steve Goodell of the Ottawa area. If I recall correctly the magazine ceased publication several times, changed publishers, and was reborn several times over its lifespan. Some quick research on the Internet shows that it continued until issue #21 in July of 1997, then was restarted in May of 2002 and continued until February of 2005.
