Thanks for the compliment.
I only paid $3 for it. Which I try not to pay to much and keep it reasonable.

Its the insulator price guide book. Best $50 i ever spent in the hobby. Its paid for itself with the money I have saved purchasing insulators

So this would be another crown embossed (CRE) but not a brookfield. But possibly made by brookfield. Idk my history there. I know there's a denver mold too as to whether it's from denver....I think it is???

The reason for the interest in the CREBs and particularly CREB s that also have the MLOD (mold line over dome) is that it's a dating method. The Brookfields that have the crown embossing and the MOLD are from the NYC glass houses and they are much older and far less specimens available.
