Here is a pair of CD 102 Brookfield ponies, each with something unique. The one on the left is more obvious with its awesome heavy amber lines and swirls, front dome bubble, and scattered bits of firebrick. This is EIN [020] (Dome) [Backwards] 16 (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD SB. Other than some minor surface scratches to the dome above the bubble, there is no damage to speak of. There are, however, some areas of "sick" glass on the outer surface of the dome and skirt, mostly to the left side. As shown above and from the rear [id=381602890], this virtually disappears when backlit. The piece on the right is EIN [080] (Dome) B (F-Skirt) W. BROOKFIELD (R-Skirt) NEW YORK SB in light aqua. Damage consists of a small crescent moon peck in the rear skirt above N, a tiny scuff below OR, and a pencil-point tic in the front skirt above OO. There is also a small wire rub in front. Easily grades vnm, but the real selling point is that almost the entire front embossing is double-struck. It's hard to photograph, but I think it shows fairly well in this picture: [id=381603221]. There is also some "ghosting" of NEW YORK in the rear. Both bases are excellent, as shown [id=381603114]. Inquiries welcome.
