  3. Thanks so much for the nice comment on my display. Appreciate it.
  4. Hi fortapache, the ambers are really pretty but by far not the most expensive in my collection. The dark one in the back row of the 4th shelf is my most expensive at almost 3000.00 it is a whitall T...
  5. Thanks so much Rosiegirl for your nice comment
  6. Thx TassieDevil, the colors are not very easy to find, but I guess that is what makes collecting fun. I am always looking for a color that I don't have.
  7. Hey fortapache, there are 4 yellows, but none stand out like the Vaseline glass because it glows.
  8. Thx so much nutsabotas6, my orchids don't mind sharing their space with the flower frogs.
  9. Hi sklo42, well, they share a picture window with some of my insulators and many of my orchids, they all get along well haha. I am glad you like them.
  10. Thanks Ivonne, I wish more people collected them, it is almost a job finding new ones.
  11. Thanks Valentino
  12. Thanks freiheit collecting old stuff is just so much fun.
  13. it might be from a Cambridge lady flower frog and they are pretty easy to find on ebay. It is like a glass statue of a lady.
  14. they are out there, I have 2 huge ones. I say about 5 1/2 ". It only has to fit down into the smallest part. If you look at my posting the pink one on the top shelf is pretty big if you compare to...
  15. This is a flower frog bowl. To put the glass flower frogs like I have posted in. I only collect the frogs, but many come with bowls. I just dont have room for the whole setup. Now you have to try to...
  16. Thanks everyone, Hey fortapache, the pink bowl you have looks like a flower frog bowl to me.
  17. Thanksvyou guys, i actually made the stands myself. Could never find what I wanted so decidedvto make it myself. Really easy.
  18. Hey, someone is selling one of those crazy standoff insulators on ebay. Still have never found out the history. Check out the ebay listing
  19. Hey radaru, i have such a hard time telling the diff between the aquas and blues when looking on line and cant always trust description. Would live to find those other colors. Isnt there also a silve...
  20. Thanks so much fortapache, the red amber is very very hard to find. The purples are very common, but they are pretty. The sun kind of washed out the pink one which looks much pinker inside the house.
  21. Thank you racer4four.
  22. So sad about your dog. Was he old? Looks like you are adding some nice pieces to your collection. Pretty soon you will run out of places to put them like I did.
  23. Hey, thats awesome
  24. Thanks Efesgirl. They are kinda cute.
  25. Hey Polecat, i didnt come up with anything on these. Was I not looking good?
  26. Yeah, I know they also have soft scrub, but I have never used it, will have to check it out.
  27. Actually they have one specifically made for stainless steel.
  28. Actually the one I used is called barkeepers friend. So not sure if it is the same as what Melanie is talking about. I use it on everything including stainless it takes out stains, rust etc. Had no l...
  29. Nice...Look like they cleaned up pretty well. I've used barkeepers helper for many years arround the house, love it. It just did not work too well on my sooted up pieces. But looks like you got it ...
  30. The deck cleaner not as bad as sounds otherwise th ey would not sell it to the public to wash decks. Right?
  31. Hey Melanie, cant wait to see your new pcs, I put cleaning instr under your comment in my purple passion post.
  32. I tried that works on the not so tough stuff, but does nothing for soot build up
  33. Hi Melanie, yep, its startkng lol. I use deck cleaner that I get from Menards. It is acid, so use gloves and eye protection. I put some in a menards bucket with the lid, enough to cover your glass a...
  34. I didnt mean broken windows, i meant windows that have separation and break the sun light coming in.
  35. Thanks caperkid, some day i will get a pic of all the pieces together. I have been remodeling and my insulator shelf is not where it goes. And i dont have a good window without breaks to take pics in....

  40. Thanks so much.
  41. I have seen them before, but not too often and am hoping some very knowledgable person can help me out with some info. I just lucked out being able to get 4 color and am hoping they come in more colo...
  42. I dont think they are foreign, i just cant find information on them. I just know they are called standoff insulators and they have no marks.
  43. If you look at the hemi blue with the dragon teeth, you will see it is not embossed HEMINGRAY

  46. Thanks racer4four. I am not sure what the drip points are for, i quess exactly for what they are called for drips of water to be directed, just dont know if some worked better than others.
  47. The genuine collectors know their stuff and do not waste money on fake or altered pieces let alone post them for the world to see. The experienced collector can identify the fakes in an instant and d...
  48. Very cool to see the same piece in different environment.
  49. Thank you ho2cultcha and if you look out the window the sun not even out. You are right, it is simple and anyone can get a couple special pieces and have a beautiful window display. And put them amoun...
  50. Thanks for looking SpiritBear, these are all the manufactured color from many years ago, but good idea for you to be watchful of the stained and artificially colored pieces if you plan on collecting....
