BROOKFIELD INSUALTOR ERROR? - 8/5/2011 12:28:42 PM    acooks   Posts: 20 Joined: 7/25/2011 Status: offline I came across this Brookfield Insualator. Did some research and learned I have no clue about the CD #s but found that some of these have errors. I will post more pictures but in this one you can see the embossing from the inside. On top it looks like "11." the second 1 looks funky. When I flipped it looks like "1L" or IL. not sure. Kicked it up in a creek while bottle digging. Any thoughts or help would be great!

Very good photos, sir! < Message edited by surfaceone -- 8/5/2011 2:56:31 PM > (in reply to acooks) Post #: 6

Engraving errors with Brookfield insulators are very common. One thing we need to remember is that this was 100 years ago or so, working in a glass factory. In alot of cases, the people that made the molds may have had little to no schooling, therefore spelling errors or backwards letters, or even small error like this may have been caused by illiteracy. I will have to look, but the "mold numbers"(the numbers on the dome) that Brookfield used on alot of those molds had alot of errors. I may even have a CD 102 like the one pictured with a similar or same error. < Message edited by Insulators Rule! -- 8/5/2011 10:27:48 PM > _____________________________ Formerly : Insulators Rule!
