This past Saturday, my father decided to steal a car (his own, but from my mother's useage) and run off to an auction in a nearby small town. It's one of those indoor dealies where they bring in all kinds of boxes of junk from a variety of estates. For the most part, junk is the only word to describe most of it. I've only ever seen insulators here 4 or 5 times out of the 2 or 3 dozen auctions I've been to. This saturday turned out to be one of those times, and while I was off galavanting about in the big city with some friends, my father was waiting in line for a bidding number to pick up a small boxlot of insulators with two interesting looking Brookfield CD 102s!

These are them. The piece on the right is probably the most ambered Brookfield CD 102 I've found to date. It's actually close to a 2-tone colouration, as a solid area approximately 1/4 of the skirt in size is swathed with so much amber that it actually appears the colour (though lighter) of your generic brown amber beer bottle. It's actually amber rather than olive amber!

The piece on the left is just plain nice! Not quite the swath of amber that it's brother has, but still a lovely bunch of the stuff giving it a tiger-striped emerald green colouration.

Now if only I could find one with about 6x that much amber, it'd be the solid colour of a beer bottle! They're out there!
