Not too much of a description for this one. Another [110] Brookfield CD 164 with the rounded base, and this one is just way too crude! The piece is full of bubbles, amber swirls, potstones, and the surface of the insulator is just covered in straw marks and other creases! But the really nifty junk this piece has to offer is the presence of a certain amber polywog in the wire groove on the right side of the insulator's front. The unusual part about the polywog is that, unlike so many other, this one is actually present on the exterior of the insulator! The amber glass can physically be touched, and there is a clear crease around the edge of the area where it protrudes from the glass, showing the distinctly different glass qualities!

The condition is the only issue with this piece. It has a grouping of three flakes to the front upper wire ridge, directly above the polywog in question. The largest is the centre one, measuring 9/16" long by 7/16" wide. A second, much smaller one overlaps the right side of said chip, measuring 1/4" by 1/4". The final chip runs upwards towards the dome, instead of down into the wire groove as the other two do, and it measures 3/8" by 1/2".

I'm asking $2.00 U.S. plus shipping for this exquisite testament to junk-in-glass! Don't let the damage distract you, it really is a good piece! I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Feel free to email with any questions, or for more photos!
