The following photos show some of my favorite glass insulators. Some may not be worth much and may in fact be very common pieces but I have included them because I like the glass or maybe they remind me of the hunt that I was on the day that I found them.

Some things are worth more than the value stated in a price guide. Most of the glass that I find would not be worth messing with if you went by the book. Some have damage but even the damage can add to a piece sometimes. I would incourage collectors to look past the dollar signs and you may enjoy collecting more.
