I collect mostly beer and soda bottles but I have a few insulators. I found these at a shop yesterday. I am sure they are common but for $3 each I think they look good in a window.

Definitely they look beautiful. Sometimes I look for embossing errors on common pieces. Today I was looking through my “cheap insulator” collection, and found a piece that is aqua with amber streaking. It was covered is so much dirt that I hadn’t noticed.

I have a green insulator that I've had since I was 14. I just cleaned it up last year over 40 years later and found it has amber swirls in the green glass. I had no idea all this time. Love the heavy feel of the glass insulators, built to last.
