CD 202 [030] (F-Skirt) No14 / [Blotted out embossing] (R-Skirt) [Blotted out embossing] SB in a super olive green with amber swirls.

I've used several reference insulators in bright sunlight for comparison including an emerald green, olive green and honey amber. Tough color to photograph. My observation is that in a light cabinet the piece photographs accenting more of the amber of the amber swirls. The piece photographs as more of an olive / dark yellow green with amber swirls in bright sunlight with blue skies. Neither is entirely accurate in my opinion. A tough late production Brookfield color regardless.

The exterior surface is in pristine condition. The inner petticoat, as you might have guessed, is about 80% chipped. I don't know what it is about how these were mounted or what they were typically mounted to that the inner skirts were chipped up in the process. I've seen one that was not chipped but was extremely crude and jagged. Maybe it was just the way they were made. Anyway, it will be a long time to find another this nice of a color and exterior condition if you overlook inner skirt. Additional pictures available upon request.

Sold for $150.
