Only the piece on the right is for sale. My first reaction when I saw this CREB was that it had an odd profile. I thought it might be [137] embossing with the so called wide groove / narrow dome. However this one has a front crown number and by searching a bit I realized that this was not the case. This is the [250] embossing (F-Crown) [Backwards 2]/(Arc)W. BROOKFIELD/NEW YORK (R-Crown) PAT NOV. 13th 1883/ " FEB. 12th 1884 {MLOD} SB. The profile is still odd to me which is why I pictured it next to a more familiar shaped one. It looks like the crown might be stretched a bit flattening out the wire groove and leaning to one side. I know the CREB Heads out there will set me straight. I am asking $15.00 plus shipping. If this is nothing special, let me know. PayPal welcomed and ensures shipping the next day. Contact me first for details. First email as always!
