This older B insulator is what put me into a gambling mood. I started searching through the large bucket to see what I might buy for $3 a pop. This was about the third one I picked up to look at and dusted of with a paper towel. Immediately I told myself I had to have this one after seeing the thick milky stringers wrapping around the dome. The owner of the shop just happened to pass by and I asked him a question that caught him by surprise. "How much would you want for all the insulators you have left in your store?", I asked. He had trouble thinking up a figure and responed with a "Make an offer". He accepted my offer of half a bill and I wondered if I had suddenly gone insane. However, after arriving home I realized and was releived that I didn't do so bad. Email me with your opinion if you like after viewing the next few pics.

There was another milk stringer swirled B in the large bucket and that was all that was worth haveing from it. All the rest were very common. The seller said he didn't know what he had sold me but maybe I would pull out at least one treasure.
