This is a CD 145 [020] (Dome) [OX] (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD SB in tealy dark aqua with some light amber swirling. It has its original iron tie wire and over 10" of iron conductor attached as well as a few tiny pieces of firebrick and small bubbles scattered about the clean and sparkly glass. Damage consists of a fingernail size chip out of the rear inner skirt as shown [id=397106363], and something apparently touched it on the rear crown and skirt when it was in the lehr. I feel the Price Guide's $15-$20 value for teal aqua in this EIN is way too high, as I find this color to be quite a bit more common than that. At the same time, I believe the cool factor of the ancient iron tie wire more than offsets the inner skirt damage to the rear, so I think $10 plus postage for this one is a fair price. What do you think?
