Nice old piece with Feb 22 1870 patent date and 55 Fulton St. address, also large shop number 7 on the rear dome. Swirl of milky amber goop visible in the dome, however to the left of this is a chunk out of the upper wire ridge that takes out 1/2 of the KFI of BROOKFIELD (with a better view of the missing chunk in the right hand pic). A few wire rubs and small nick out of base make it sound worse than it is. Check out that drastic swirl start to the threading in the skirt too! Lists at $15-20 but due to the damage, $9 + shipping. Thanks for looking! DEC 4 2006 : REDUCED to **ONLY** $5 + shipping!
