Garage sale insulators

[Fenndango]

I don't think any of the small insulators are Westinghouse.
I will be posting all the insulators this week.

p.s. I looked through most of my insulators today and to my surprise most are of the small size. I thought I had bigger ones.

I was just joking westinghouse are screaming rare

Insulators are cool. I like that purple one best.

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?

That' a nice collection wonderfully displayed!

What is your light source for the backlit panels? Are the panels themselves frosted glass or a translucent plastic material?

Thank you for all the information on the pricing my insulators.
Wow!!! you have quite a collection.
The insulators are behind a piece of plexi-glass with a light behind them.
I found the other insulators and they're not as large I remembered.
I am not feeling too well this week, so I doubt I'll get them posted ( maybe Friday.)
What I'll do when I post them is any trade mark or name I 'll go ahead and include them with the photos.

The light source is 5000K (KELVIN) fluorescent lights. They come in LED now. The lights are back about 6" or 8" and spaced about 6" apart. The back panel is a translucent plastic "White Sign Panel" which is very common in the sign industry and also pretty cheap to buy. If you get hot spots just add another thin plastic panel. I paint everything in the back of the cabinet white so the light bounces around and is bright and I get no hot spots. 5000K lights are the closest we have to day light (not sun light) and give the truest color for the glass.

Wow, again. You know your display lighting very well.
I just learned about backlighting. So, I take it there is a differance between White Sign Panels and just your common arcylic white panels???
What type of lights do you use (examples, cool, warm, daylight, etc?) I use cool white.

5000K- 6500K is considered daylight.

Most LED bulb packages show the Kelvin # on them. The lower the number (ie: 2000K) is closer to yellow, while 5000K is closer to white light. Higher than that, the light starts to look blue bordering on purple.

Very nice looking display of insulators, I would take great pride in that collection
