Post No. 20 will compare three different CD 102 insulators found in the Southern Bell farm dump located North West of Cockran, Georgia. Post No. 20 is as follows:

CD-102 Brookfield - 3 Piece Mold - Sharp Drip Points - No Top Mold Mark - Olive Green

CD-102 Brookfield (Front) New York (Back) - 3 Piece Mold - Top Mold Mark 0 - Medium SCA

CD-102 W. Brookfield (Front) New York (Back) - 3 Piece Mold - Top Mold Mark B - Medium SCA

You will immediately notice the mold difference between these three CD 102 Brookfield insulators. I'm almost done documenting insulators found in this farm dump pile. I still have posts which will cover two different CD 102's with no embossing and a CD 106 with a "7" on the skirt (i.e. King City Glass Works).

Note: Brent Burger sent the following e-mail with some interesting comments. I thank him for taking the time to educate me regarding Brookfield manufacturing history.

It is amazing what you found in Georgia. Some of these pieces defy my NW-centric logic of use patterns, such as we NEVER found CD 103's anywhere. 101's may as well have been Diamonds, …. they were never found south of the borderline …. right up to it, but never on the US side

Much research has been done in recent years on SKEB era Brookfield history, and as it relates to the three BF 102's from this recent post of yours, the sca run was the result of BF's confiscation of BGM's assets in 1897, which also keys in with the known construction date of the N.O.LA. levy pump lines, that carried the sca 293 LOCKE's, dating these 102's to late 1897/early 1898. The WBF marked molds were showing many re-turnings at this point, while the BFNY molds were crisp and new. The olive piece was made from a mold set that was in service from about 1912-1917. The small drips and flared dome profile tell us this was made later in that run.

In 1977, I found the entire south to be sterilized of nearly all pre-war line construction, and openwire of any sort was GONE. In the rural backcountry between Aiden and Morehead City, NC. I spied a single pole near a kudzu-covered abandoned house with two glass phone types. I stopped to have a look and found two very "Deliverance" looking gents clearing the brush and kudzu from the place. I asked if I might talk them into letting me have the glass, offering some money, but they just said "Ain't fer sell !" and went back to work. Both were Pennycuick kegs, but I was unable to determine if they were SBT&T marked, or the more common unmarked examples. But it really didn't matter, … one was a common aqua, the other a vibrant, glowing fizzy yellow- -olive green ! I still lament not being able to get those two.
