Let's take a look at one of these poles and see what's on it. The best piece is a nice CD 145 with sharp drips on the top arm. Next to it is a normal HG CO hive with damage. To the left are some common Hemi 42's with the left piece having the later 1940's embossing.

Lower down is an earlier aqua Hemi 42. Next is a beehive with the embossing facing the other side. The smoothness of the glass would suggest Hemingray/HG CO rather than Brookfield. Finally there is another beehive in a sorry state. The pins are all steel with wooden inserts.
