Here is a blue or blue aqua, depending on the light, CD 145 EIN [090] (F-Crown) (Arc) W. BROOKFIELD / 45 CLIFF ST / N.Y. (R-Crown) 5 / (Arc) PAT'D NOV. 13TH 1883 / FEB. 12TH 1884 {MLOD} SB in remarkably fine condition. (NOTE – The S in ST. is closed (worn mold?) so it looks like an 8.) The front, rear and dome photos are too green, and the base photo is a bit too blue, though I don't believe the color is the real selling point on this one. 8^) For you specialists, it has the scarce shop number 5. For added character, there is an elongated bubble between the left mold line and the pinhole visible in the front view, above, and a squiggle of olive amber in the right front inner skirt, visible in the base photo [id=388784506]. Slight damage is limited to two pecks above and below the 5, seen in the dome photo [id=388784461], and one in the right front wire groove. A tiny lehr peck on the rear skirt, [id=388784412], is from manufacture. If you like it, don't wait as this is a time-limited offer, and the price of $65 ppd in the USA is firm. If it doesn't sell in a week, back onto the display shelf it goes. Thanks for looking.
