Those are nice insulators! I'm a bottle collector, not an insulator collector, and I downsized my bottle collection several years ago, keeping only my most favorites. When I was doing my bottle downsizing about 15 years ago, I remembered that when I had purchased a collection of 200 bottles about 40 years ago, 3 or 4 insulators were included. I had put those insulators in the back of a kitchen cabinet and forgot about them, but remembered them when I was selling off most of my bottles (some of those bottles each sold for almost what I had paid for the entire collection, others for more than half of what I paid, and so on down the line). Anyway, I checked out the insulators by doing some online research and found out that most were practically worthless but one wasn't - it was a dark green CD 132.2 "Paisley" insulator that had swirls and bubbles in it. I sold that insulator for more than 10X what I had paid for the entire bottle collection of which it was a part. Looking back, I think I made a wise investment 40 years ago.
