The CD 257, commonly known as the Mickey Mouse for obvious reasons, is one of the more popular styles of insulators. These come in a range of colors. The two on the left are perhaps the most popular. Any insulator that contains amber swirls or a variation of color is quite desirable. Another feature of the one on the right is it's extra long Drip Points. Only this particular style is correctly referred to as Mickey Mouse. Other eared insulators have their own nicknames. |
| The two insulators on the right are CD 145 Grand Canyon styles, given that name as they were most commonly found around that area. They are believed to have been manufactured in one of the Colorado glass houses and most have very distinctive, beautiful colors not found in any other kind. There is no embossing on these. The example on the right, while not possessing the two tone color so desirable, does have some wonderful bubbles, not the least of which is the "coupled" pair in the skirt. |

They include some colors found in no other style and are quite beautiful when viewed in a sunlit window or with back lighting. Various shades of green seem to be common but some of the rarities are; Violet, Mustard, Teal Blue, Midnight Blue, Cobalt, even Chartreuse. |
