Early Brookfield 162 with the 83 Fulton address and the name abbreviated as "Wm" rather than the much more common "W." Damage is limited to a small flat base chip near the mold line and some typical annealing stress - real decent. As a bonus there is a nice yarn-thickness string of white yuck trailing about in the skirt and wire groove area. I believe the 83 Fulton address is the earliest known on a Brookfield 162, and these are fairly rare. The profile is kind of odd too, ... the skirt is large and "hoopy" compared to the dome size. A neat and interesting early signal. $20 and I pay shipping in the US.
