Status: offline 		My boyfriend (so mad at him for this) found this insulator in the creek behind our apartment. It was top down in the soot! It is frosted all over and the embossing is very worn away.

And Percy the cat wouldn't let me take a pic of it but it is a really neat find. And mine. I claimed it.

I think in time you will come to realize that the item is actually Percy's. But don't worry, when it loses that unique watery scent, Percy will be less interested in it. Congrats.

Yes!  the embossing is still on it but very faint and very worn away. Brookfield it is.  We poke around the creeks alot but only find shards of stuff.  My bf (once again!!) finds the best stuff.  He found an intact bottle (albiet a little beat up) from Millville Bottle Works.
