Seasoned collectors please excuse the extra detail in the descriptions. These were listed elsewhere.

LEFT Brookfield Toll Insulator with junk and amber This is a beautiful CD 121 insulator commonly used for telephone lines (thus the name "toll"). In days gone by customers were charged for long distance calls. You had to pay a "toll" for those calls.

The embossing reads BROOKFIELD (front skirt) with 5 "blot outs" on the back skirt. There is a raised dot on the dome. There is light amber swirling throughout the insulator that gives in a green appearance. I count 8 bits of white rock mostly in the top of the insulator above the wire groove. One of those bits is very close to the top of the pin hole. There is a crack that passes though that bit from one side of the wire groove to the other. I believe it was caused by the annealing process. It is only on the inside of the insulator.

CENTER CD 133 W. BROOKFIELD (back) NEW YORK two dots on the dome There is some nice amber in the insulator giving it a green appearance. The closest embossing and color is EIN520 where apple green is listed at $20-30. It is basically green aqua with amber. The only damage is two half inch long base chips to the outer edge of the base and some slight nibbling in another area of the base.

Brookfield Toll Insulator with big white gob in the dome The embossing reads BROOKFIELD (front skirt) with 6 "blot outs" on the back skirt. There are two raised dots and a backwards 4 on the dome. The only damage is a tiny nick to the lower wire ridge and a couple of flea bites.

Take all three for $35 plus shipping (4 pounds).
