My Insulator Want List
I have to say that I am not very specialized in my collecting. If it looks nice to me, I'll keep it. I do, however, have some more favoured CDs and some less favoured CDs.
In particular, I really like CD 112s and CD 160s. CD 190/191s are nice to have as well. I really like any kind of carnival piece. I am also trying to fill in all of the various spool CDs.
At this time I am working to fill in some of the missing CDs and colours in my Australian glass line-up. I'm always on the lookout for an interesting foreign piece that might be a bargain. A long term goal is to fill in all of the CDs from CD 151 up to CD 170. I have many of them already, but some of the more obscure decimal CDs still elude me.
I have decided that I really don't care much for the power and cable type insulators. So that means most of my collection stops around CD 210. The exception to that are the Pyrex and Hemingray carnival pieces of which I have 10 or 12.
If you have anything from my list below that you are willing to part with, feel free to
an offer. I don't promise I'll jump to buy something because finances are always a factor, but I will certainly consider all offers. I use PayPal and BidPay so it is quick and easy for me to zip off a payment to someone.
