On the left is a CD 145 EIN [080] (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY-21 (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. SDP in bright Hemingray Blue. A single halved drip point at the left mold line is all that keeps it from mint.

Second from left is a CD 145 EIN [020] (Dome) [Backwards] C (F-Skirt) B (R-Skirt) B SB in Light Yellow Green with a wisp of amber. An open bubble on the outer skirt, a much tinier one on the inner skirt, and a rear dome ping are more than overcome by the insulator's crystal clarity and generous dome glass, not to mention the fine color.

Next in line is a very chubby and heavy CD 145 EIN [260] (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD (R-Skirt) NEW YORK/['B.G.M.CO.' blotted out] SB in Aqua. The embossing is weak, and it's got an open base bubble and two base edge flakes; a peck between the R and O on front; and a thumbnail size chip taken out of the left side of the crown with nearby scratches. See [id=465525646] for a better view of the chip.

And on the right is a CD 145 EIN [030] (Dome) 8 (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD (R-Skirt) NEW YORK SB in Dark Aqua with swirls of amber in the Postal (or more recently, Darth Vader) style. I can find no damage, and there is a small blob of white goo in the lower wire ridge above the N in the rear. See [id=465525646] for a better angle of that.

Take all four for $22, includes shipping in the US.
