I didn't have high expectations of finding good California glass in the Midwestern-area Springfield Show, so I was very surprised to be invited to look at and purchase insulators from a recently acquired old collection. You didn't see these insulators on the sales tables as it was a private transaction between myself and a dealer.

Its all California glass (L to R): yellow keg (CD 112); yellow baby signal (CD 160); yellow hoopskirt (CD 152); peach/yellow hoopskirt (CD 152); light yellow signal (CD 162); yellow large signal (CD 166) and a resin-repaired, large yellow egg-shaped strain (CD 1131).

Note that the CD 1131 was most likely heated to get its yellow color and that is discussed in a separate photo [id=451710140]
