On the far left is a CD 145 EIN [230] (F‑Crown) 8/(Arc)W. BROOKFIELD/45 CLIFF ST/N.Y. {MLOD} SB in Aqua with light milky amber strings around the pinhole. But the real eye catcher is the inch-and-a-half plus bubble in the rear crown. The close-up on the left shows the dome number. Several scattered dome pecks do not detract from the bubble display, but there is a quarter-size chip out of the inner skirt under the embossing on the opposite side.

Second from left is a CD 106 EIN [100] (F‑Skirt) HEMINGRAY (R‑Skirt) No 9 SDP in Blue. Look at those perfectly placed bubbles in the rear skirt! One drip point under H flaked, one drip point under the big bubble halved. A couple wire rubs at the left mold line, and a tiny white potstone above it round out the description.

Second from right is a CD 133 EIN [100] (F‑Crown) (Arc)W. BROOKFIELD/45 CLIFF ST./N.Y. (R‑Crown) 101/(Arc)PAT/JAN 25 1870 {MLOD} SB in Aqua with an inch-and a quarter narrow bubble in the rear skirt. The EIN shown is an educated guess, since the rear embossing is nearly unreadably faint, and the mold number is highly unusual. It's shown in close-up on the right. There's a base slice almost the exact size of the bubble below it that's hidden by a shadow in the top photo. The rest is excellent.

On the far right is a CD 133 EIN [110] (F‑Crown) (Arc)W. BROOKFIELD/45 CLIFF ST./N.Y. {MLOD} SB in Aqua with light snow throughout. There's also a ¾" smiling bubble in the left front skirt with a small fleabite above and to the left of it. A couple of wire rubs and a tiny pinpoint peck in the rear dome near the mold line are hard to see.

Asking $12 plus postage for all.
