On the left is a crude old CD 133 EIN [430] (F-Crown) [Backwards] 2/(Arc)W. BROOKFIELD/NEW YORK (R-Crown) A {MLOD} SB in Blue Aqua with the W.B and half the R clearly ghost-embossed above the main embossing. The only damage I can find are the two pecks on the top of the dome and another above the L. There's also some light steam and a couple of tiny bits of white potstone to add character. On the right is a CD 121 EIN [010] (Dome) [Backwards] 12 (F-Skirt) BROOKFIELD SB in Green Aqua with faint amber. Almost the entire embossing is ghost-embossed above it with the letters smeared, but readable. Click on View Original and check out the base shot with the embossing shown from the inside. I find no damage, but there are some nice bubbles in the front skirt as well as bits of snow all around. How about $12 plus postage for both?
