Item: 217  Description: CD 133 Brookfield (230) Light Blue. This is the embossing style with Cauvet’s name and 1865 patent date on the reverse. In View 1 the Brookfield embossing is weak, partially due to a wrinkly surface (cold mold?). The View 2 side clearly shows the date, along with a “whale” of a bubble and light amber swirls. There are several other nice bubbles scattered around the insulator.  Grade B-Plus: Shallow and small flake on lower wire ridge on reverse; additional minor wire ridge wear & nicks.
