lot assorted old antique brown glazed ceramic telegraph wire insulators

Lot of eleven big old ceramic insulators, very steampunk, we think - these are from very early electric wires, or telegraph wires. Sizes vary, these are 3" to 3 1/2" tall.

All of these are showing their age, some have chips, some have glaze wear, or dulling to the finish. These make good paperweights, and are handy string holders, big sturdy spools to hold whatever you'd like.
