The second group in this study (BFNY) is a frustrating bunch. It is the largest and most complicated / confusing of all the SKEB102's. I have spent many, many hours studying them and am only able to find "patterns" on a few. I am at a loss to name eachstyle, as it seems there is an infinite number of variations that "almost" seem to make "this one"...
My definition of "blotting" is based on 99% being done as blots ... as Webster defines as "spots, dots, or marks" in round drill-outsbeing then refilled and finished (to varying degrees of "cleanliness") .... often most obvious to us in those raised round dots on therear of 121 Brookfields. The sca 102 CREB is unique (to my knowledge) in being done...

I've thought 1893 to 1897 is the likely time period, with the flip to the three part mold, with the W.

Travis Pattern is a local foundry that does a lot of fancy engraved mold brass work. I used to do a lot of work forthe owner and one time at a Christmas party struck up a conversation about their products and procedures. He toldme brass is worked at right around 2000 degrees (same as insulators). He told me their molds were made of ductileiron (sam...
Telegraph insulators, jars. Brookfield Glass Company was an American glass company based in Brooklyn, New York, from 1864 to c. 1912, and in Old Bridge, New Jersey, from c. 1906 to 1921. it was known for producing industrial glassware such as jars, bottles, and electrical insulators. [1] The company's business began as the Bushwick Glass Works ...
Brookfield’s Worst Insulator Why this insulator was designed and manufactured is a guess. It is not an early experimental model. As is the case with all the styles, we don’t have exact dates, but it appears to be Old Bridge production. The lower part of the insulator is unnecessarily heavy, the top slender and the wire groove extremely skimpy.

The more solid answer is that the first glass insulator used for a telegraph wire was the very first time a telegraph was sent, by Samuel Morse in 1838. This was a bureau knob-style insulator—so named for its visual similarity. From the first knob insulator to the clear glass Hemingrays of the 1940s, glass insulators have had a century’s ...
The oldest glass insulator was used on Samuel F. B. Morse’s inaugural telegraph system in May of 1844. Called a bureau knob, for its resemblance to the item in question, this type of insulator would be improved upon (or overhauled entirely) by various innovators over the course of the next twenty years. The earliest paper record of a glass ...

This style insulator was developed and produced for nearly 20 years by Brookfield. Star embossed fragments of this style have been unearthed at the lower works site of the Sterling Glass Works (after acquisition by Harloe in ’03). Colors are generally aqua with occasional green shading from light green to dark olive.
