Found this cool collection of uranium glass yesterday in Iowa...didn't get all of it but cherry picked some of the better pieces.

Thanks for teaming up with me @Melissa

I also collect coins 🙃

First photo were given to me by my grandfather they are my great grandfather's from WWII (I love military collectibles) 

Second are walking liberties 

And third are all foreign coins from all over 🤓

I find them interesting and it's like holding history and the path it's walked in your hands hehe

Nice Walkers. Walking libertys are my favorite probably. The prettiest coin America ever made I think.

I used to collect shells, fossils, rocks, minerals and beach glass then got into the fluorescent ones. Then started to find beach marbles while hunting for beach glass which led to collecting marbles. I also collect glass, coins and insulators. Here’s a pic of some of my fluorescent rocks and beach glass.F7B1FBDA-F710-409A-BBEA-994469257EBE.thumb.jpeg.017340389fe073e2b55cbf8d07097bec.jpeg43979797-E73F-4D13-B522-A1C0ABD40830.thumb.jpeg.67fa42dec08693ed87825eff49e4ed81.jpeg0A98ACD7-4821-46CE-AFAE-F840D0AB5EFF.thumb.jpeg.733be02c406e3d58fec1dff200e43742.jpegD576127A-E3DA-4BEC-8009-15D3C427A043.thumb.jpeg.4ad1feeb8af47132648b80e549c0c034.jpeg324FF715-D4B3-48E6-B1D4-BB8A29C02E4A.thumb.jpeg.7ab20628eb92d28dfb236a52698d6e3d.jpeg

Some older Brookfield insulators I have from the 1870s and 1880s:

I have been picking up random insulators off and on for a while now, just picked this one for mere dollars and was quite surprised after looking it up! Mines by far not going to command that price obviously but still worth way more than what I paid!

The lighting is a little off but it's the lightest purple of the 3 shades of purple that I found listed...

Wow! That's pretty incredible. That type of purple looks very rare. I'm guessing the insulator itself is somewhere from the 1890s to the 1910s (based on the embossing). 

Well, Mines not exactly in super shape, about 10 or so chipped teeth, but still sought after for its semi-hard to find status, especially for the ones that are superb.

But beware, as with other glass collectibles, they are being reproduced out there! I found that out with a green Mason jar a couple years ago. Got it home, looked up the embossing, which was really good, too discover it was made in China. One small marking on the bottom gave it away!

Luckily didn't spend much but still paid Too much...
