Very cool capture Tara RodS will know about these if anyone does!

As a child I would walk along the old railroad tracks with my grandfather and collect those. They bring a fortune nowadays.

These are the coolest things; I see them every so often in antique stores and of course, they cost a LOT!!

Well this is a relief. I expected to see a gravestone chronicling the sad, short life of Whitall Tatum. This is much cooler.

I use to get theses as a kid. I do not know what happen to them. I did not have many but still like to know what happen to them. this is a good image

Great find and capture Tara.

HOLY FRAAAAAAAAAKKKK!!!! You found a PURPLE one in the wild??? OMG!!!!!!!! GPS, Please??? :-P Seriously - the purples are quite rare - especially in the 'wild' like this one. And rare = pricey. As I understand it, the purple color comes from all those years in the sun - the radiation gradually changes the color through some molecular changes in the impurities in the glass. When it was new, it was clear. That's a great find, and a wonderful shot, Tara! You just knew I'd be all over this..... The ceramic piece is much less rare, and much less valuable - I can't GIVE the dang things away... Looks like a Pinco, Lapp, or possibly Ohio Brass. Now... Did you climb that pole, or did Bill get you a quadcopter?? :-D

nice shot!!

Superb capture Tara. God bless.

I just love the excitement and enthusiasm in Rods voice! And I can see why he collects them: we OCD ers must share a gene. Super compo, Tara. Now I too am wondering how high up this was.

WOW I'd love this one I have a Dow Corning one in marigold carnival glass ,thanks for showing it.

Interesting that they changed color over time! I will look more closely after this.

Nice shot!

I won't throw a spanner in the works by trying to identify the other one!!!! Nice shot Tara.

Great photo, amazing details! :-)

What a beautiful item and well spotted....

Gorgeous shot. I knew these existed, knew nothing about them, was vaguely aware people collected them. Vey interesting. Rick

I was quite amused over Rods´s reaction here. WOW! Are they that valuable? Anyway it is a mighty excellent shot as usual :)

an inventive and well composed pic.

Great find & capture, but then spotting things like this that we mere mortals barely notice is one of your super powers, isn't it?

They have stood the test of time well !! it's a great shot but you have me wondering where you were to get it :)

Superb capture my friend. "I don't know anything about the brown one" I put it there, I am the keeper of the insulators. They said "One that looks nice" and is "Not too expensive"

Hi Voltage shot !!!!!!!

Good idea of capture.

You learn something new everyday.. I never knew! Thanks... Rob
