This is the W. BROOKFIELD 55 FULTON ST with a 6 above the Fulton St address. On the reverse side is Cauvets Pat July 25 1865. That's everything that should be there, but those crazy wrinkles have wiped a good portion of the embossing away. The 6 is legible on the front side and the Cauvets Patent is also legible. So it's obvious that the embossing is not the selling point BUT look at the ripples in the glass in this old timer. This one will stand out in any collection. There is one small chip at the base of the skirt. $25 gets it delivered to your U.S. address.
