Who loves CREB? I know I sure do. Here's an oddball color that I'd call a minty green, but there's some teal and green in it as well. You can't know how I labored to even get the color close on my computer monitor. This is a CREB beehive in VNM (looks mint to me) with some nice bubbles, including a nice large one in the left (insulator's right) skirt. Embossing reads 09 (backwards 9 over strike over)/W. BROOKFIELD/45 CLIFF ST./N.Y. (faint embossing). On back (more legible) PATD NOV 13TH 1883/FEB 12TH 1884. I honestly don't know how to price this one. Surely for the CREB specialists, this would fill a hole on the shelf. How about $95 shipped? First email gets this character piece.
