For sale: CD 145 EIN [030] (Dome) 8 (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD (R-Skirt) NEW YORK SB in dark green aqua with amber highlights throughout. It's in very good shape with damage limited to a small chip under the upper wire ridge above the B, a peck on the right side of the dome, and a tiny inner skirt flake associated with an open bubble. There's lots of character, too. In addition to the amber coloring, check out the prominent, odd-shaped straw lines from the left front skirt to the front dome. Some of these caused a funky double crescent bubble spanning the wire ridge right in front, and a couple of small openings have allowed dirt and soot to collect in the sides of the bubble over the decades. Right below that at the front base there is a small bubble fountain that spews a bubble trail up into the pinhole with more champagne bubbles in the crown and dome. And if you like your display a bit less "busy," turn it around where the rear view is mint, and the clarity of the glass really shows off the perfectly formed threads. Click on View Original to really see the show. Inquiries welcome.
