This is just what you expect an old Brookfield insulator to look like. This 45 Cliff St. has that ripply finish and is loaded with seed bubbles. The embossing is light, there is one skirt ping and there is a small, shallow chip at the base of the skirt. But, put this "Old Timer" in a nicely lighted spot and it will look worth 4 or 5 times my price of $8.00 plus actual shipping cost.
