In the early seventies near Albany New York, Karen and I had a sales table of insulators at a Church meeting room. The swap meet was sponsored by the Capital District Insulator Club. A very distinguish well dressed gentlemen approached our table and introduced himself as William Brookfield. Said he was trying to put together a collection of as many Brookfield insulators as he could find that his family produced. He was really delighted to find a CD 149 Brookfield on our table. He told us how difficult of a time he had trying to locate one. That really made his day and also us talking with him. Now looking back the more that I think of it I haven't seen very many of these manufactured with the Brookfield embossing either. Or even in other collectors hands while visiting with them or on eBay. I think their a really neat and an unusual looking glass because of the unusual appearance do to the extra wide wire groove and pointed dome. The production of this style and qu! antity must have been very limited and seem tough to locate. The Brookfield embossing is located on the front of the skirt of the insulator with New York on the rear of the skirt. I purchased a small collection this spring that had a Brookfield in dark aqua, plus 2 pennycuicks in the CD 149 style, one of which has a continuous drip. Any information on these Brookfield "sleepers" would be very much appreciated. If you have one of these elusive Brookfield's in your collection let us know what you think. I came across my first ones on a barn in 1968 in upstate New York which were covered in white paint. After cleaning off the pair of them I could see one was a light aqua and the other was a dark green which is the one Mr. Brookfield acquired. The only other ones that I have are in dark aqua with bubbles running thru it and a light aqua one. The dark aqua one is from the newly acquired collection and within a fifty mile radius of where the other two were found on the barn. T! his in a thirty seven year span. I think it would be pretty interesting to see what other readers have and where they came from. Thanks, George and Karen Toften.
