I have a strange problem. I just got what I think is an emerald green 145. I have the price guide by John and Carol Mcdougald. It isn't in the book. There is no name on either skirt. The only markings are on the dome with a backwards "2". Is there a chance this is a fake or the author left it out of the book?

what you have is a Brookfield no name, index 035. Jack

Thanks, Jack! Is there a reason I couldn't find it in the book? The only color they had in there was light aqua.

look for faint embossing on dome. some creb embossing is so weak you can barely see it. jack

I couldn't find any CREB, nor any embossing other than the backwards "2" on top. I did find an area that looked suspicious. It is most likely just a molding imperfection. Could it be an area where someone ground something out? I could only see one dot on the left side of the area. I have attached a photo. There is the mark on the crown of the insulator in the glare. Is there a chance you know the approximate value?

That's no CREB, looks just like a lightly embossed B 145.

Thanks Ted! Do you know an approximate value?

The B embossing can be hard to spot and well worn sometimes, if it is indeed the [035] no name B the book lists 15-20, but with only light aqua listed it would infer that they are probably earlier Brookfield production and not the typical dark aquas like yours. Assuming it's a B, the value is minimal.

Thanks. What book are you using? By minimal, you mean 1-2 dollars, right?
