  17. Not sure how it happened...they all had to have been from the same run I'm sure tho. Very nice brookfields you have. Amber and character in the HEMINGRAY/HGCO pieces is tough to come by, that's why I ...
  18. Yea Amber is found in many of them...especially in manufacturers like Brookfield...but yes like this, very uncommon. What's interesting about the other ones known like this is that the Amber streak is...
