This is one of our most interesting finds thus far. It's color is very hard to verify. It is a CD: 162 with Primary Embrossing being H. G. Co. also (f-skirt) H. G. Co. / Patent May 2, 1893 (R-skirt) Petticoat, it is in great condition no cracks or such. We are leaning toward saying the color is a sneaky green, it is very lovely.

Little I's Personal Collection

Little I's insulator collection is growing again. She Keeps all of her insulators on her dresser. She has several different kinds. Hemingray of several different CD numbers, AM. Co., Brookfield, and others. She is very proud of them. I am so proud of her. For a three year old she takes such good care of them. Her favorite is her purple ones followed by her smaller sized ones. She calls the small ones her baby insulators. I am hoping that one day she can enter one of the young collector shows. I think she would enjoy it almost as much as her father would. I hope very much that she stays interested in this. It is a very special collection and will give her something she can continue to collect well into adulthood that will have sentimental value as well as money value.

Collecting Insulators as a family

This has been a very interesting experience collecting glass insulators with my little family. It started out with just my husband and has became a family thing once our 3 year old daughter became interested in them. She now has several that are all her own and then the rest we share as a family. Collecting insulators is very simple to get into because they are unique and interesting but as you get more and more into it and start looking into the history of them it becomes fascinating. I will try to get everyone the family involved in this blog and hopefully it will be interesting to find out what we learn about insulators and the different types we have.
