The Whitall Tatum 122 and the Brookfield 121 came from the same vendor. The first I did business with last Saturday at the Brimfield Mass. week long fleamarket antique show. The 122 is a now you see the purple or pink tint and now you don't type. Saw the color when purchase was made but not when I arrived home. Other times afterwards I did see the tint again. The 121 Brookie is for my blotout collection. It is only the fifth I have that match any AT&T molds that I've come across. Still trying to figure out who made all the rest with less of a straight skirt like the one shown. Anyway, All the remaining insulators plus four presently in their acid bath came from the same seller that comes to every show with insulators that were a part of the largest collection in New Jersey at one time. The previous collector died a couple years back. This is like the third batch I've purchased from that collection. I arrived at the fleamarket on it's sixth day running so there is no telling what other collectors walked away with. Lastly, the only Star signal in this group came from another guy that is usually present three times a year. He sells radiated glass but I never buy any of them. The Star is original green color it was made in. Only the second insulator I believe I purchased from the guy in the three or four years I've been going to Brimfield.
