NO wild hunting today, the weather's cold, wet and just all round' LOUSY here! However, I receive a message from an old friend that he's been cleaning out the barn on his ol' family homestead and has a small box of "green insulators" and "old bottles" that I might like to see. Having nothing else to do, my wife and I take a short drive for a long overdue visit with our friend of over twenty years.

"Steve" had a tidy box of old Coke bottles and old flasks awaiting us and the seven insulators in these three photos.

An H.G.Co. CD 145 in a nice aqua shade and an H.G.Co. CD 151 with the drip point PATd embossing and PETTICOAT on the rear skirt. (I was taking these photo's during their bathing process so excuse their difference in appearance.) This 151 is a first for me and is only missing a few SDP's on the inner skirt.
