Left CD 102 PATENT OTHER [030] (F-Crown) PAT/JAN 25th1870 (R-Crown) FEB 22nd 1870/MCH 20th 1877 {MLOD} SB. Burial stained with an overall peacock blue kind of an iridescence to it. The surface haze is more milkier than the picture shows and it is all over the entire piece. The embossing is all readable which is not always the case on these Patent Other ponies. Center CD 133 BROOKFIELD [230] (F-Crown) (Arc)W. BROOKFIELD/Large Shop Number 4/55 FULTON ST./N.Y. (R-Crown) (Arc)CAUVET'S/PAT/JULY 25, 1865 {MLOD} SB This is the version where you can see the small typewriter print of the word JULY that is typically used on the 127 Brookfields. The 1865 date gets increasingly larger. The surface is burial stained with numerous pot marks dings and an almost no glass missing bruise on the front base. Right CD 133 BROOKFIELD [360] (F-Crown) Large 0 / (Arc) W. BROOKFIELD/45 CLIFF ST./N.Y. (R-Crown) (Arc)PAT./JAN. 25 1870 {MLOD} SB Overall the glass has a haze to it and minor blemishes from being buried. I just noticed when I put this in the light box that there is a stress fracture at the top of the pinhole. You can faintly see it passing through the R in BROOKFIELD. It goes with the character of the piece so no big deal really. I don't consider any of these to be candidates for tumbling. They are low value pieces to begin with and have damage so are meant to be enjoyed for their surface patina. As Danny boy says, view original & smile. Price for the trifecta is $15.00 plus shipping.
