CD-160 - Holmes Tree Insulator in Tree Section Sold For: $798 Color: Aqua
| This is a complete Holmes Tree Insulator Bracket. It includes the bottom piece with the split porcelain ring. The ring can be opened up to insert it around an existing wire rather than having to thread the wire through the ring. There is a variant with a metal strap holding in the ring as well as a U-bolt configuration. This is the latter design. The insulator is very weakly embossed "BROOKFIELD" on the front and the embossing on the rear is unknown. The most interesting part is that the tree has swallowed the bracket almost to the point where the lag bolt attaches to the bracket. Who knows how many decades the tree must have grown to swallow this much of the bracket? The tree section was only cut tall enough so that the insulator was above the bottom of the tree section. A display stand is included in this lot to raise up the tree section such that the entire insulator and bracket are above the bottom of the display stand. These complete brackets alone sell in the $200 to $ |

CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $880 Color: Sage Green/Purple Two Tone
| Many two tones are subtle. The low pinhole and the transparent dome glass allow you to easily see swirling of Purple and Sage Green in the dome. 1/4" inner skirt chip in the rear, otherwise easily very near mint. A hard-to-find piece that should be of special interest to California and "baby signal" collectors! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $77 Color: Burgundy
| A classic "baby signal"! A patch of microbubbles and some twisted annealing lines can be seen in the dome. Some additional bubbles wind around the skirt. The low pinhole accentuates the rich color of this insulator. 1/4" wire ridge flake, otherwise easily very near mint. A great addition to your "baby signal" collection! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - B Sold For: $297 Color: Olive Green
| This is one of the more desirable colors for the "B" baby signals. One can see that the "B" is very off-center. It is in line with where it would be if the engraver had planned to engrave "BROOKFIELD" on the mold. 3/8" and 1/8" flakes on the base, 1/8" ding on the wire ridge, 1/4" inner skirt flake, otherwise about very near mint. Add this "baby" to your collection! |

CD-160 - O.V.G.CO. Sold For: $440 Color: Light Blue Aqua
| CD 160 is the most difficult O.V.G. style to acquire with the exception of the ultra-rare CD 196 transposition. Made by the Ohio Valley Glass Company. A 2" and several smaller areas of flaking on the base, a few dings here and there. The unique embossing "PETTICOAT PONY" is not found on any other insulator. A key addition for the O.V.G. specialist or the baby signal collector! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - H.G.CO. Sold For: $578 Color: Light Aqua EIN: [140] UPDATE:
| Super tough "No 40" embossing with the "S.S.& CO." blot out! 1/2" base flake, two 1/4" wire ridge flakes, otherwise very near mint. Note that the "No 40" and the "DOUBLE PETTICOAT" is from the engraving in the mold from when it was also embossed "S.S.& CO." A key piece for the advanced "Baby Signal" collector! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $143 Color: Burgundy w/ Purple Swirls EIN: [010]

Baby signals are always popular and this is a more unusual color variant that every baby signal collector needs! |

CD-160 - O.V.G.CO. Sold For: $484 Color: Light Blue Aqua
| Two 1/4" base flakes, otherwise very, very near mint. Made by the Ohio Valley Glass Company. For the O.V.G. collector this is the second hardest piece to acquire (the CD 196 wins that award!) A rare and desirable insulator especially in this fine condition! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - BROOKFIELD Sold For: $253 Color: Dark Snowy Yellow Green
| {Sharp drip points} 4 chipped drips, otherwise about very, very near mint. An abundance of small white impurities throughout this insulator give it a fantastic jadey look. This extremely uncommon coloration will be of significant interest to Brookfield and "baby signal" collectors! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - B // No 32 Sold For: $176 Color: Olive Green
| Great condition! Creases and small "snowflakes" can be seen in the glass for a little added character. See lot 96 for a nice Yellow Green example. Very few insulators by Brookfield are marked with a style number. This one is an exception, as it is marked with "No 32." |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - B // No 32 Sold For: $132 Color: Deep Yellow Green
| A few little flakes on the base, otherwise easily very near mint. A great companion for the Olive Green example in lot 97. An interesting quirk is that the "B" is not centered on the front, as though the engraver was originally going to spell out "Brookfield." |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
********************* Auction Date December, 2018 ************************** |
Bill & Jill Insulators - Next Auction: Coming Soon |
CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $72 Color: Burgundy
| Very, very near mint. An interesting impurity can seen in the front. The insulator is squatty and slumps to the left, giving it a different profile. A nice addition to your baby signal collection. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $55 Color: Smokey Sage Green
| 1/2" stress line on the rear wire ridge, a little patch of scuffing and some chatter around the base. A low pinhole almost eliminates the inner skirt and creates some great dome glass! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - STAR Sold For: $72 Color: Rich Yellow Green
| 1/4" base flake, otherwise very, very near mint. Colorful "baby signal" and a leaner to boot! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $121 Color: Smokey Sagey Green
| A couple of small dings and a 3/4" base flake. Crudely made, with folds in the glass and a neat underpour right in front! There is an increased demand for "baby signals" and this is a unique character piece that every serious CD 160 collector needs! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - BROOKFIELD Sold For: $55 Color: Light Limey Green
| Stress mark in the left wire groove, three 1/4" flakes on the inner skirt. A bit of an odd color for a Brookfield "Baby Signal". Truly an attractive piece! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - H.G.CO. Sold For: $88 Color: Off Clear
| A very hard-to-see small bruise on the rear skirt and a little nibbling on the inner skirt. A nice older "baby signal" with the early larger "script" embossing. (#0535) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - CALIFORNIA Sold For: $253 Color: Burgundy
| Very good condition. An interesting notched underpour adds extra character to this little "baby signal"! (#0993) |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - H.G.CO. No 40 Sold For: $798 Color: Light Green Aqua
| Very good condition! There is documentation that Hemingray produced the S.S.& CO. embossing first and later they simply re-engraved the mold with H.G.CO. The style number "No 40" is a carryover from the S.S.& CO. embossing. A really tough embossing for the baby signal collector to get! (#0210) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-160 - {K.C.G.W. product} Dark Green Aqua Sold For: $578 Color: Dark Green Aqua
| Two small inner skirt chips and a wire ridge flake. A nice dark color and a rare piece for the baby signal or KCGW collector! (#5390) |
