I would like to see pics of them sometime....I also collect insulators and old bottles that are pre 1920. I have some rocks & minerals too. Some of my better pieces include a malachite pistol, a 33 pound piece of amethyst, and a piece of hematite from Chub lake N.Y. that formed into tiny blade like patterns. For rocks and minerals, out west is the place to be. I have never attended the mega show out there in Arizona, but maybe someday.

Be careful you don't fall in love with it... it could make it harder to be prepared to liquidate if you get the chance should things get extremely volatile with opportunities to sell. I always worry that people won't see their chance to sell until everyone else does by which time there may be too many sellers and they can find no buyers, esp. individual buyers, but possibly not even able to find dealers buying.
