I found this this bottle and thought it was pretty cool. I thought I would share and see if anybody know anything about it. I know it is Italian buy can't find a lot about it.
I honestly have no idea. I thought it was on the outside after your picture but I washed it and cleaned it and it still looks like this. So I took a picture of it with something else.
I was wondering if this was considered a jade insulator? I know sometimes colors can be tricky to nail down and was looking at this one and wondered about it.
So I guess I am new to the Mountain Dew club. I saw this yesterday it an antique store and thought I would pick them up. First I loved what they looked like and second the bottles said they had to come home with me with their $2.50 price tag. Figured they would go good with the insulators. These...
I found this guy the other day. I am trying figure out what it is made out of. It is bot porcelain or glass. So I was hoping somebody has seen it before and might have some info. It is like a plastic or composite type material.

For Father's Day my wife and kids added to the ever growing collection.
I was pretty shocked but my wife assured me that she got some amazing deals on these.
I was out searching for some insulators the other day and was able to score my 1st Maydwell. The Maydwell 20 cd164. I love finding ones I don't have and then researching them.
Recently I got a few new insulators to share. My parents got me a green on the left from Spain, my wife got me a purple California and a root beer Diamond and I found a white Germany. All of them are pretty cool if you ask me.
I know you said it was on a wooden peg but I had a couple that were rusted to a metal peg and then it was bolted on the wooden cross arm. I sprayed WD40 down into the holes where the threads were and let it sit for almost a week. Then I sprayed some more down into the insulator and was able to...
