Awhile ago when I lived in Maine we went out for the day and stopped at some antique stores far from are house and at the time I didn't know anything about the CREB's and so we stopped at this one antique store and I saw a shelf outside with some kind of basic insulators on it and so I went inside and looked around then I went upstairs and saw a box with some * (star) insulators in it and I saw this apple green beehive and so I looked at it and thought, cool this is kind of different from the other B insulators that I have and it was on 3 bucks so I bought and had it in my collections for a few years. As we had moved to our new house here in Massachusetts 3 1/2 years ago I had a hard time finding antique stores and insulators of any kind, so I guess for that amount of time I haven't paid any attention to them until early this year and I was looking through all the stuff I used to look at and started getting back into them again and I was looking on ahh insulatorstore.com or something, and I saw the CREBS and I saw the one that was the same color as mine and, well mine is just slightly darker than this one here, priced at $125.00 http://insulatorstore.com/proddetail.asp?prod=6068%2D3 but from the picture as you can see the real color of it doesn't show up to good, but mine appears darker, because its little dirty from the train smoke.
