It's pretty hard to put into words what these three gorgeous CREBS looked like in person, and the photo doesn't come close to capturing the true depth of color. I can only tell you that it was even better being able to handle them & hear, first hand, the story of where they were found and how they ended up where they are now,(which isn't in my collection). I have a deep appreciation of all the insulators in my collection, but have a closer connection to those that have come with some of their personal history behind it. I always make a point of trying to get as much background about a piece as I can from a seller. Most times, it's life after service, is much more interesting than while in service. Thanks, Dan
