A nice pair of CD 133 [230] Brookfields in the harder to find #2 shop mold. Featured here are both mold variants that I know of. These are pulled from my collection after waiting a very long time to make a upgrade. Strong embossing on BOTH pieces on BOTH sides. Entire embossing reads W. BROOKFIELD / 2 / 55 FULTON ST / N.Y. on the front and CAUVET'S / PAT / JULY 25, 1865 on the back. One has some mily swirls in the front and back and the other has a good amount of dome glass and swirl start threads. Heavy glass too! These were made late in the threadless period likely in the late 1860s / early 1870s and are among the first threaded insulators. Both have some paper thin flaking that goes vertical on the skirt. Honestly, they don't come much nicer. Price $76.66 shipped to your door. First email. Jeff - I know you are having PC troubles. I got your payment today... THANK YOU!
