Favorite insulator you own.......

[Brutalfly]

So just wondering what everybody's favorite insulator they own is?
I have a couple that I have found in the past year that are now my 2 favorite pieces in my collection.
The green one was found by my wife as she turned and looked at me and said "Here is a green one!" I was pretty thrilled as it is the only green in my collection. Somebody had made it into a candle holder and hot glued a metal piece to it. I took it off and cleaned it up.
Also the pleated skirt was something I had never seen before and it was sitting at an antique store looking like it needed a new home.
Fortunately they were only a couple of bucks a piece.

My favorites that I own would have to be my CD257 "Mickeys", my CD102 Diamonds, and my battery rest insulator

Only known 104 embossing error (period after NEW) from Ashuelot River RR Winchester NH, Pennycuick 126 (pronounced pennycook) from B&M Orange MA, crude crown embossed AM Toll 121 from Northwestern MA

Not the most expensive I have by a long shot, but these go along with Uncle Bruce's philosophy

That is a pretty awesome group of insulators. I have always loved the Mickey Mouse ones.

Those were mainly used back in the 30s and 40s for ham radios. Not a radio enthusiast, just an insulator collector
