Offered here is a 40-piece lot of outstanding condition; clean, shiny, colorful glass insulators, representing the remnant of my insulator interests from the past 55 years. Some of these pieces acquired recently while others a few years ago. Winding-down my collector days and may be the end of my insulator collecting interests. This would make a wonderfully diversified "instant collection" for the discriminating "condition snob" fledgling collector, or some great clean stock for show dealer or on-line auction fodder. Yes, there is profit margin in this lot considering current market prices for exceptionally clean glass.

A partial descriptive list of the better $$ pieces follow.

FC = Factory Condition (pristine, clean, shiny condition may have an open base rim bubble, mold seam flakes, or shallow annealing lines). FC+ = Factory Condition + (pristine, clean, shiny condition with the tiniest of flaws: pin-point tick or tiny flake, etc.).
