In all my antique mall and flea market searches, this is the first AT&T I've ever found, so I'm pretty excited!! It was found in a antique/junk store just north of Gainesville, GA for $3. This one is DEAD MINT. Not a ding on it anywhere. I'm still not sure of the CD # on this one or if it is rare or not, since being new to collecting. I also have a Brookfield in the same style, so I assume it is a common piece, just not in these parts :) Someone drop me an email and let me know, I'd surely appreciate it!!

Thanks to a few great collectors, I've found out a little more about this piece and am somewhat surprised!! According to Brent B., most AM TEL& TEL's are BROOKFIELD in origin. This would explain the shop number on the crown. He also suggested that it was somewhat unusual that their are NO periods on the embossing of the company name. Another collector, Frank S., says that there should be NO "&" between the TEL's with a shop number on the crown.

Seems like I have a little bit of an oddball here on this CD 121 Polecat. Thanks for the info guys!!
