You usually only see the standard Hemingray greens, clears, and aquas so that shelf is worthy to the extreme, some of those look close to vaseline and one on the third up from the bottom looks close to amberina...

In fruit jars those colors would be worth a very large amount of money. VERY large. I know insulators have the same rarity-by-color, approximately, so I can only imagine at the amount of time and money invested in such a collection.

As a collector of cobalt, those cobalt-looking ones just kill me.

Used to see these on poles still in Arkansas & Oklahoma 20-30 years ago. Sometimes they'd even have fallen on the ground on poles replaced by newer poles, where they had left the old ones standing. Unfortunately never could get mom & dad to pull over and let me go grab them. Nowadays they're all gone. The sole insulator in my collection is a dirt-common green Hemingray.
