The details

Antique Brookfield CD 145 Ice Blue Insulator Great Clarity Light Aqua Tone 4 Inch c.1895-1915 This antique Brookfield glass insulator comes in a striking ice blue tone — lighter and more luminous than typical aqua, with exceptional clarity and vintage character. Made over a century ago for use on telegraph and telephone poles across America, this CD 145 profile is a classic among serious insulator collectors. This example displays its ice blue tone beautifully — clean, bright, and free of major damage. Its hefty glass construction reflects the craftsmanship of an era when infrastructure was built to last. Display it on a windowsill to catch the light, pair it with other telegraph-era pieces in a collection, or let it stand alone as a striking piece of American industrial history. A thoughtful gift for the history enthusiast or glass collector.
