The "B" embossed piece on the left is the top part of a two piece insulator, it is a CD 191, the bottom piece to go with it would be a CD 190. The B stands for Brookfield, which is the glass company which produced that insulator and millions of others. That looks a little more green than the usual aqua ones, so it has a little bit of value, maybe 15 dollars by itself.

OK, I see now that it is an aqua insulator with amber swirls. Not rare for Brookfield as they were known for having poor quality control and alot of their insulators left the factory with "junk in glass", and a LOT of them made their way to Canada to be used.
