Lot 11: Brookfield "Salesman's Sample" {CD 145 style} Color: Light Aqua Description: 1" diameter and 1 1/8" tall. Boldly embossed "BROOKFIELD" in the front and "NY" in the rear, with a well-formed inner skirt. Very small 1/8" bruise on the outer skirt in the rear, otherwise fantastic condition! This is an extremely rare piece, with only perhaps three known. One with more damage recently sold for $1,700 and another one sold at auction 5 years ago for more than $3,000! Although commonly referred to as a "salesman's sample", this item may have actually been a promotional item, perhaps given out by a salesman! This is quite a small insulator. It is shown actual size next to a standard CD 145 Brookfield in the main view. Specialty collectors, take note of this true gem; who knows if you'll ever have another chance to acquire one? See lot 10 for the CD 162 style "saleman's sample." (#0188) Estimate: $2,000 - $2,500 Open: $200 Price Realized: $2,970 |
