Item: 12 Description: CD 145 Brookfield Yellow Green. Believe it or not, I can’t find a (EIN) listing that fits this insulator. Let’s go through the characteristics together. Front: Shop Number 10 at the top of the dome. Appears to be a “10b” in Lew Brewer’s book. Next: (ARC) W. BROOKFIELD / 45 CLIFF S T / N.Y. Important to note here… there’s extra space between CLIFF and the “S” and extra space between the “S” and the “T”. Also, it is a capital “T” and not a small, underlined, “T”. One the reverse, the embossing begins “PATD” (no apostrophe). The letters and numerals are quite LARGE. The embossing is most similar to the (216) EIN, except that the middle bar of the “E” in BROOKFIELD is present (and prominent). Now look at View 3. A major difference with this insulator (in the center) is the shape of the dome. It’s more vertical, narrower and less round than the dome on the 1870-dated CREB on the left or the normal 1883-1884 CREB on the right. Grade B-Plus: Teeny skirt flake near base visible to the right in View 1. Small spot of wire wear and bruise in the wire groove visible at the left in View 2. Has natural annealing lines in the skirt. Estimate: $250 - $300 Open: $120 Current bid: No bids yet |
