Bi-color or Two-Toned Insulators

Examples of two-toned or bicolor insulators, two very distinct colors, the result of incomplete mixing of two separate batches of glass or the addition of cullet (recycled glass) of a different color that was not adequately mixed. The most common bi-color is aqua and green, which can occur either when green glass is added to an aqua or blue glass batch, or when amber cullet is added to an aqua or blue glass batch and mixes in some areas to produce green. These are not rare in Lynchburgs, but are highly valued by collectors.
