Insulator Help?

[JakeEnser]

We have recently come across a very large collection of insulators, milk bottles, jars, medicine bottles, and various other glass items.

It is very difficult to figure out how to identify many of the items, so hopefully someone here can help. We have brands such as Hemingray, Corning Pyrex, Brookfield, Lynchburg, Canadian Pacific, items with only a star on them, and many more.


This is just a shot of all of the different insulators spread out.


This one is very interesting. Great color with a pretty detailed design that may be hard to see if the photo.


Whitall Tatum with great purple color.


Very large and heavy Corning Pyrex.

Corning Pyrex clear.


"Louie X" I believe it said on this one. It is a nice dark amber color.


Much different than any of the others.


"Mickey" style. Only marking on it says Cable.


W.E. MFG Co. Patent Dec. 19, 1871




These last two are some sort of commemorative piece.

We have hundreds of these things.

Looks like a good collection! I'll send some more info along in a bit, but you've done well if you picked the group up cheaply.
For now, the insulators in your photos are:

1 - CD-135 Chicago ($100-150 normally)
2 - Whitall Tatum CD-154 ($15-25)
3 - Pyrex CD-326 (I think, but don't know the big power stuff too well; $20-30)
4 & 5 - Pyrex CD-234 in light carnival ($10-20)
6 - Pyrex CD-235 in carnival ($20-30)
7 - Pyrex CD-128 in colourless glass (less than $1)
8 - LOWEX CD-230 in dark amber ($10-20)
9 - Hemingray CD-128.4 "big mouth" ($150-200, I believe)
10 - No Name CD-259 ($10-15)
11 - W.E. CD-126.4 - made by Hemingray ($20-30, I believe)
12 - Telephone Pioneer commemorative ($20-30)

Keep posting pictures - especially those Canadian ones!

Man! You got some really nice ones there. I have about 100+ of them, they are all the common blue Hemmingway...I really like that deep purple one
