The insulator picking was slim at the Albany New York bottle show last Sunday. Only picked up two of the three shown in this pic while there. My first purchase was the dark olive green Brookfield CD 162.1 on the right. The seller was a bottle digger who mentioned that he sells D.W. (not Dave Watkins) all the threadless he unearths. The only other purchase I made only because I thought it was the right thing to do being the seller had a few in a box he didn't have on his table in case I showed up. I've purchased insulators both at a show and at his house in past years. Lastly, I picked up the glassy pointed dome Star beehive up on the way home. Had picked through the milk crate it was in a few weeks back but didn't notice this one. Not that it has much more going for it except an orange peal exterier (crude).
