On the 11th of August I posted a pic showing three ponie insulators I found at an antique store I frequent. Over the years I have built a good relationship with one of the few attendents that take turns opening, helping customers and whatever else they do while they are there on weekends. Besides selling me the three ponies my now friend also provided me with the phone number of his friend which he sold them ponie for at the store. Called the late undertakers daughters and son-in-laws during the week and made arrangements to come by today. Must say I was somewhat disappoint. Over the phone the seller made it sound like there might be better colors then that were actually there when I arrived. Still I found a few that were worth pick'en. The seller said that they had a week long yard sale and also a couple days of auctions to sell off all stuff the undertaker left behind after he died. Turns out he was not only a grave digger but also a bottle digger. According to the son-in-law he never sold a single thing he ever dug up. I saw more bottles in one of the barns on the estate then I seen at the few bottle shows I've attended. It was a great pleasure chatting with this couple. Couldn't resist asking the daughter if her fater had buried any insuators anywhrere before I left. On the way back home I passed by the antique store and just notice my friend was unloading his SUV. Of course I had to stop. Turns out I hadn't cleaned the shop out of insulators the last visit. That's why the two Pyrex carnival 234 are also in this pic. They to were a part of the former Hubart New York Funeral Home's director. In the back row in my pic are a variety of Creb CD number. Out of all the crebs the most interesting to me is the 102. It's a 170. Looks green aqua to me. Only a light aqua is listed for that EIN. Was very surprised finding the unembossed Pennycuick 134. It's a first for me so is my favorite find of the day. T runner up is the very colorful Pyrex 234 on the left. It has really dark coloring. |
