The other day I was looking through the hunt and find alblum and read a story of a guy going to the same antique shop even though they never had any insulators. Yesterday I visited an Antique Center that has many venders who all rent space. A number of the venders occasionaly have commons that are way over priced and I pass them up. One vender must have added this CD 106 into his small selection of common CD 102 Brookfield. So I grabed it for a buck. It has some drip point damage and a good size chip at the skirt in the back. As you can see from my pic it displays reasonable well from the front side. Guess the vender didn't know how much more valueable the milk swirls make an insulator. He still had cracked CD 102's and they were marked two to three bucks each. Another vender had the CD 121 AM. TEL & TEL CO. on the left. I think I spoted this on before and passed it up during a previous visit. Yesterday I picked it up for another look and dicovered it has some ghost or double embossing. Paid five for this one. Too much?
