Item: 17 Description: CD 145 Brookfield (230) Purple with Large Bubble & Pollywog in Reverse Skirt. View 4 shows those features. This Crown Embossed Brookfield (CREB) has the Shop Number “09” embossed over a smaller “09”. See View 2. It is identified as a “09d” in Lee Brewer’s Comprehensive Guide to CREBs. Note in View 5 that this insulator, on the right, has a different shaped crown than the 1870-dated piece on the left AND that this insulator has what appears to be American style threads compared to traditional Brookfield style threads in the CREB to the left. Not only do the threads taper off at the top of the pin hole, but the pitch of the threads is different (steeper). Grade B-Plus: Small inner skirt flake; nibbles at the start of threads, tiny open bubble on base and small scuff mark on side of dome. This insulator last sold in December 2018 Bill & Jill Auction #151 for $525. Estimate: $500 - $750 Open: $400 Closing price: $525 |
