My son had his mind set on getting his 1st purple insulator at the Platte City show. We got there and we were walking around and we came to a table and there was a purple that he had to have for a price he couldn't pass up. So he picked it up for this collection. Lets just say he was super excited and clutched that thing tightly and it is one of his pride and joys of his collection. On the way home he told me next year he is going to get a dark purple. I love being able to have a hobby to share with my son that we both enjoy.
