Went to local bottle club show at fairgrounds today. Got there early during setup. walk around, see some insulators but nothing exciting me. No HGCO bottles, or tobacco jars or Globe jars except for normal amber ones. spend good 45 minutes, and decide to go. As i walk out, here comes guy with plastic tub full of insulators. I of course stop him and want to look at them. Mostly CD 154s and like. I handle couple of pony's and note they are stamped vs hand done embossing, which i discuss with him. Oh he says, crude ones, there is one in here, with backwards 9. So..... we dig harder, and find it. sure enough, nice addition to my collection.

you just never know when and how you might find a gem.
