I've always had a soft spot for ghoste-embossed pieces, so I tend to pick them out whenever I come across any. These two both came from a large accumulation of assorted glass I picked up from a retired auctioneer last year.

At left is a SDP BROOKFIELD CD 102 with '00' dome numbers and "BROOKF" ghost embossed quite clearly just above the main embossing. This one has some amber swirls as is typical for these. This one has 15 flaked drips, one of which extends into a clamshell flake 1/4" wide on the right base edge.

At right is a (front) B.T.Co.OF CAN over large diamond and (rear) B.T.Co.OF CAN blotout over large diamond. This one has all of B.T.Co OF CAN visibly ghosted over the front embossing, the B.T.Co. part very clearly. This one has some roughness and some fleabites around the upper wire ridge and some scuffs on the crown, but otherwise looks good. I'd call it "good" condition overall.

I'm asking $18 USD plus shipping for the pair. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
