This will be our group photo for the time being. A pair of P.R.R. embossed Brookfields from the Pennsylvania Railroad, CD number 162.5. These were a gift to me and another collector from a collector in that part of the country. We each got one of the pair.
Originally a manufacturer of laboratory glassware for the medical and scientific fields, Brookfield was based in New York and made glass insulators from approximately 1868 until the company shut down its furnaces in 1921. Brookfield closed altogether in 1922.
