Fun time collecting insulators, I'm back into it in a pretty big way. Be careful with color names, there are big differences in value between shades of the same color. I won't go into a big tutorial but just a caution. Corn Flower Blue in one make doesn't look the same as Corn Flower Blue in another make. The uninitiated always tend to think their color is the higher valued one. Human nature! Jim "I never meant to get into insulators, but we can blame Jim for my getting into them. [8D]" Yea! Right!! Blame me for your addictions. [8D] Just because I wanted that "Ghost Embossed" Brookfield.[

I like that insulator. Very neat. But is the purpley one SCA glass?
Not that, but a box of other insulators that showed up one day for my research certainly got me into it. Bear don't furget.

I've been a very disinterested insulator collector, over the years, lot of dust has settled on them , but I'm brushing them off now! Concerning the color variations and the color shades, I have noticed that , in the authors price guides and web sites , opinion sway values in many different hobbies.

I believe the best example , would be the term, "cobalt blue" and it's usage for insulators, on auction sites and guides. So when I stated those colors , I would say , I based my opinion on the auction sites. Where a medium blue , could be four shades either way from "cobalt to corn flower"!
