Here's one for the CREBheads. It's a 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 a darkish bluish aqua. For damage there is an impact ding to the right side of the front dome near the mold line and a short sliver off the base with inner skirt nibbling as shown. There is a neat little bubble in the center of the rear inner skirt, visible when the mold number is displayed, and a faint milky olive worm that swirls around the pinhole to add a bit of character to this already scarce and desirable insulator. If you collect CREB beehive shop numbers, don't wait on this one as they're not too easy to find. Price is $75 plus shipping.
