Here are two postal-style CD 145 EIN [030] (Dome) [Number] (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD (R-Skirt) NEW YORK SB in great shape. The piece on the left has a backwards 5 shop number on the dome, and the light blue aqua color with that sparkly clarity (and the more petite size) is often associated with early production at Brookfield's Brooklyn, NY, plant. Damage is confined to the rear and is limited to the open base bubble shown and a few chigger bites to the rear dome and wire groove. It displays perfect. For the piece on the right, your guess is as good as mine what the shop number is. It looks more like a blotout than a number to me. The condition is vvnm++, and the color is that dark green aqua (and beefier size) that is generally thought to be from the later Brookfield production out of the Old Bridge, NJ, plant. Don't they look great together? Inquiries welcome.
