This is a picture of two CD 127 rim embossed "H. Brooke's Pat. Jan. 25th 1870" which were found on the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line. These were found near Albany, GA. Most of the CD 127 Brooke's were located on the line which ran South from Macon, GA down to Albany, GA with the highest concentration located close to Albany, GA. It is interesting to note that around 80 - 90% of these had rim embossing which was smeared due to the temperature of the glass pour and cooling. I probably found around two dozen or so most of which were traded into the hobby.
