My neighbor's garage sale yielded a bunch of insulators.
These are the small ones. Some of the photos duplicate an insulator or two.
I know nothing about insulators, but the price was right and they looked so nice.
Can anyone out there tell me what I bought?

Mostly quite common but the amber swirl ones and the purple are OK. Condition looks great. Definitely some nice window insulators for sure.

You did quite well. The best ones are the dark green CD101( looks like a mushroom) and the royal purple Diamond CD102. Diamonds are common Canadian insulator that are the most affordable across their color range. The purple on itself is about $20-30 give or take. The CD101 id have to look up the value on. All in all great display pieces.

Thanks for the insight about my garage sale insulators.
My neighbor is from Michign, so that might expalin the Canadian insulators.
My wife loves the little ones.
I also bought a bunch of larger ones, well I bought all he had for $10.00. He also threw in an earthworm maker? I fish as much as I can, so the worm farm will come in handy.

Hell of a haul for $10 bucks. If you want post a pic of the one that looks like a mushroom and I will look up the value if you want.

There's a nice domer to the right of the purple. Is that another diamond? Plus what's the dark one 3 over to right from purple on end. Diamond?

Thank you comments and information about my garage insulators.
The little ones my wife seems to like them, so I don't if I can sell them (I'll ask her)
All the others have been stashed around the house. I don't how many or what they look like and what kind they are.
I am having problem with taking accurate photos right now, but this coming week, I'll post some of them. Then you can see if your interested in them.
