You never know what you are gonna get.

The classified ad. in my local newspaper listed 'old bottles' among the many contents of an estate auction. Only when I got there did I realize that the old guy must have been a collector. There were approx. 200 boxes of old bottles, each one containing at 20-40 (or more) bottles!

Anyway, I spotted a few insulators in one of the boxes near the end of the sale and bid one dollar - nobody else bid!

There were also four embossed coke bottles (two green, two clear) and a few other nice pop/beer bottles in there too.
