CD 127 [010] Homer Brooke's. Embossed in that typewriter font on the base H. BROOKE'S PAT JAN 25TH 1870. Small 4 on the top of the dome inside a slight flat circle about the size of a dime. This is about as nice of one of these that you will ever see with no need to upgrade. It has a small water drip like line that runs from the wire groove down to the skirt. From what I understand this is a lightning flashover line. I mention it for the sake of completeness. It is essentially a mint piece in crisp clean glass that I got from Dick Bowman a number of years ago. Price $150.00 plus shipping or free delivery to the Shrewsbury show this Saturday. First email.

I'll bring any of my unsold pieces for a no obligation look at the show this weekend if you are interested. Just search for my name in the FOR SALE folder.
