A Brookfield Color Timeline
From Insulator Wiki (Wikilator)
The following is intended to be a documentation and hopefully eventually an agreement on differing colors produced by Brookfield in the 1900-1921 time frame. Hard documentation is limited, but various clues exist which we hope to use to reach a consensus on a color timeline.
Note that this is a continuation of an earlier discussion recorded as The Big Unsolicited Brookfield Question.
