I was planning to use today to get my stuff together to attend the Yankee Pole Cat Insulator Club swap meet tomorrow in CT, but was disappointed to learn that it's been postponed due to expected rain. To console myself, I decided to take a road trip to hunt some antiques shops in areas that I don't usually go. I'm no longer disappointed that the Pole Cat get-together was rescheduled, or else I wouldn't have found these—all from different shops.

On the left is a mint Dark Green CD 1066 spool marked Isorex/7 on one side of the top and A21 on the other. The asking price was $249. I didn't pay that. (I paid much less.)

In the middle is a CD 726 EIN [010] [No embossing] {MLOD} GB in very Blue and loaded with milk swirls giving it a somewhat jade-like appearance. It displays about mint from one side, but there is a large chunk of glass missing from the skirt on the other side, and there are two NGM fisheyes in the dome, one larger than the other. The asking price was $6. I didn't pay that, either. (I paid much more.)

On the right is a CD 162.3 EIN [010] (F‑Skirt) ★ SB in Blue leaning Dark Blue. It's VVNM+ with a couple of scattered pinpoint pecks. It was one of a larger group that I picked up for a bulk price, but I've included it here primarily for color comparison.
