In early years, I did a lot of trading with Charles Brandon. One of these trades in the early 2000 included a trade of a CD 133.3 bar with a reverse 3 [click here] and a CD 126 Brookfield in beautiful green [click here] for a CD 132 Dec. 19 1871 and a CD 133 Dec 19 1871. Both of these early Hemingray's are character pieces and are two of my favorite insulators because of there beauty and for the fact they came from Charles Brandon.

My fourth post is the back of the CD 133 which was found in Northwestern Missouri. Details are as follows:

CD-133 Patent / Dec 19 1871 (Front Dome) [id=611064226] Script 3 (Back Dome - No Mold Number - 3 Piece Mold) - Crude Sky Blue With Milk, Amber Streak, and Bubbles - Overpour With Significant Lean.

Note: The threads are also considerably off-center adding extra character. A stack of business cards was used to level this insulator so that a reasonable picture could be taken. Even with the large clam shell back skirt chip, I still love this insulator.
