There are two groups of insulators pictured here. The twenty five or more on the left are from a hunt me and my hunting psrtner Todd made a week ago today. All came down off their respective crossarms and pins. Below is more of a description of those or my share of the booty. The insulators on the right were trades. Lots of nice colored glass in that group.

Mainly what I took home were CD 145 Postal Style Stars. One has tons of amber swirls, mainly in the dome. Another has a very nice amber stringer. My favorite has a very uncommon milk swirl. The majority are very fizzy and a good number have a lot of dome glass. I call the one with the milk while my friend Todd was climbing the pole because it looked like the bluest I had seen from the ground at that point. Little did I know it had all the milk swirls as well. My friend did but up quite a fuss when I reminded him repeatedly of my initial claim. However, he had but already made his claim on another that had a simular milk swirl insulator and surrendered any rights to claim this one as well out of fairness.

Also found was a first for me. Actually two first if each Sharp Drip Point Brookfield CD 152 is included. They both were a very dark blue color. Not sure if they are really dark aqua, but I don't think they are. I posted one of the two at the collectors alblum. It has amber and junk high on the skirt and under the wire groove.

There are also three skirt embossed Brookfield CD 145 beehives that were taken down and I returned home with. Two are teal and one is a very nice yellow green.

I do not plan on keeping most of these insulators. I have already listed six of the CD 145 Stars for sale in Icon's For Sale alblum as a group. I listed those a week ago without any response so I will be listing those and others mentioned above at eBay. Just advance search rogerp518 at eBay if you are interested or the CD number you are looking for and you will find what I have for sale. Thank you for looking at this page and good luck.
