For your consideration this evening is an excellent example of this (possibly) Brookfield-manufactured piece. The piece in question is one of the famed No Name CD 154 embossed with only "No. 40" on the front skirt. No. 40 not even being the style number Brookfield used for these, and also being one of two such style numbers used by Brookfield for this exact same mould. I think we can all agree that the history of these pieces is a little odd, and a bit of a mystery... especially considering that it seems like a lot of them were used up here in Canada.

This one has one very nice rock in the front dome, measuring 1/2" long by 1/4" wide, and very nearly touching the surface. As an added bonus, the piece is full of amber swirls - throughout the dome and front skirt especially.

The condition is good, with just one 1/4" wide fisheye on the right upper wire ridge, right on the mould line, and one 1/2" long by 1/4" tall fancrack on the front inner skirt. There also appears to be a bit of scratch on the front, right side of the skirt, but nothing to fret over.

I'm asking $10.00 U.S. plus shipping for this exemplary piece guarenteed to add an air of, how shall I say... "garbage" to your collection. "Junk", that is. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Please feel free to email me with any questions, or for more photos. Also, please check out my "unsold" stock in the "Not Sold" folder, and combine multiple purchases to save shipping! All the best!
