Can't tell you how many times I stoped in a this shop up in Windham ski town. At least 3 or 4 times in the last couple years. Also called about an equal amount of times since my first visit. The owner told me a barn fell on them and it would be to dangerous to even let me go after them. His story was that his Dad made him and his brother climb poles when he was a kid and get the insulators down off of a line that ran through the Catskill Mountains. Finally yesterday these two insulators were the only two in that shop on display. His girl wife was there and draged a box full up out of the cellar but they were all commons. There were no carnival insulators as I was told there would be. Maybe they were sold long ago by the father. Anyhow, I'm losing count of the number of creb beehives I have found this year. Same thing goes for the tolls with the blotouts on the rear skirt. This one is a dark green aqua. The funny thing about whenever I buy them they always seem to all have different mold (shop numbers) on the top of the domes. The color of the one in this pic seems to be the most common of the colors they were made in. Those far I believe five or six out of 19 I have are that color. The creb has a #10 over what appears to be a #12. This one has no patent dates at all on the rear crown. I have another 10 over 12 that has them. Wonder if they reused the front of the mold when they started make an EIN without the patent dates on the rear crown. Guess I'll have to ask Lee about his findings on this one. Long live the King of Crebs!!
