Here are the finds from another hunt along a line in use near my house for beacon boxes. We climbed the poles with a ladder and came home with approximately 10 Brookfield "B" Beehives (CD 145), two of which are Emerald Green, four of which are the No 44 style, one of the No 44's has lots of snow, and another appears to have "No" on "No 44" Blotted out, is there a listing for this, because it may just be under pour or weak embossing, just wondering. Also found a CAN PAC CD 143 with a ROUND base, contrary to a Smooth base. It is Embossed; (f-skirt) CANDADIAN (r-skirt) PACIFIC RY. CO. I thought this was weird with the MLOD through the embossing. My first Brookfield CD 152 in VNM condition, all the ones I finds are badly broken. Then we found these under the base of the poles; a porcelain signal, and a broken straw No-embossing Canadian CD 145, as well as a brown porcelain Cable-top unipart. Then we went to another line (former Great Western) and found a "small o" G.N W. TEL. Co. CD 145 in aqua, Mint condition. Also, a CD 1049 four-part transposition spool bracket., and a HEMINGRAY CD 152 in VVVNM Condition. We also found those pins on old crossarms, mostly broken, and laying around.
