Speculation suggests Canada MLOD, no name 145's were made from old Brookfield CREB molds. There are similarities as seen in the photos of this purple CREB number 13 [085] and this green Canada MLOD, no name. The theory is that Brookfield sold the old CREB molds to Canada and they hollowed them out, made them larger to remove embossing, and poured their own pieces. Jim Frustieri (one of the most noted overall Brookfield experts) has already done some work in this area and believes this to be the case. I hope to delve deeper into this in the future before the CREB research project ends and include my findings in the future book!
