All but the 133 Creb came from my most frequently visited Sunday flea market that's around 30 miles from home. Purchased those three along with about another ten insulators which I gave to another vendor to sell. That seems to be becoming a sub-habit of mine. Took another route home and stoped at yet another indoor flea market that popped up around 2 miles or less from my home. Had actually attempted to see what was waiting the day before but nobody was around. Had looked through the door windows and through they wouldn't have any insulators. Only saw stuff I would have given away if I were the owner. It is nice to be wrong. Not only did find the 133 with nice junk and an embossing error but I was told by the owner she had other nice colored glass at home she would bring in. That however was the second time on this one hunt someone had told me about better colored insulators. The first was the vendor I gave the insulators to. Said he had spotted some purples at a yeard sale for $1 a piece. Hopefully he went to see if any were not sold. I'm supposed to hook up with him again in the near future.

I only purchased the bunch I gave away because the price wasn't that bad. Really only wanted the B beehive. It has some sort of a deep; and I mean deep Slash left ot the B. The bottom 1/2" or so has excess glass sticking above the normal surface. Since it is all in a straight line I figured it is all factory made. Never saw anything like it before. The upper portion is rounded and smooth inside the groove so I ruled out the idea it is chip damage.
