Even though I was unable to attend the Springfield show last weekend I did have a good insulator hunting time. Was really surprised to find these two CD 121's pictured at the glass shop I visit when I'm in Millbrook, NY. Thought I was going to leave empty handed after looking through the commons outside that I'd picked through a good number of times. After thinking just that the owner who I had built a regular relationship over the years oftered to sell me a couple from his house stored away because they looked better then the ones outside. Like him I had no idea what he had only that he thought they were seven up green in color. When he returned with these two pieces I knew they were not seven up but none the less they would be fine additions to my ever growing A.T.& T. Co. and Brookfield CD 121's with blotouts. The brookfield is a dark green with a super ambered up dome while the AT & T is a yellow green. I will be adding a pic to the collectors album to show the progression of my 121 collection and reaching out to any AT & T CD 121 collectors. BTW, I bid on an orange amber Brookfield with the blotouts at Bill and jill's auction. Couldn't believe my bid didn't win. Went over book value even with damaged drip points. Probally because it once belonged to Charle's and they are quite rare. In fact it is the only I have ever seen. Anyway, maybe someday I will get extreemly lucky and find one while on one of my road hunts.
