    Insulators are an interesting piece of the antique glass collecting world. Here in the west, there seems to be a recent resurgence in those insulators made by the western glassworks. Prices of western manufactured insulators has risen dramatically over the last year or so. In my recently published book Early Glassworks of California, two different glassworks were manufacturing insulators for the Pacific and Atlantic telegraph lines, starting in 1860 with SFGW, followed by PGW in 1864.
