Description
Huge dramatic reverse glass advertising Great Northern's two great trains, Empire Builder and Western Star. In script just below Great Northern logo it states "Steamliners twice a day, each way, between Chicago and Seattle, Portland via St Paul Minneapolis and Spokane". Unbeatable deep rich colors and outstanding graphics. We believe this to be a one of a kind survivor piece and certainly a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of early American history. California, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and many of the Canadian provinces are all listed with highlighted graphic landscape and city scenes scattered throughout. Many cities are listed while illustrating the two routes including iconic cities such as Butte, Montana and Los Angeles, California. Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Spokane are just a few more. Lit with 50 light bulbs, its stunning art work comes to life helping to fire the imagination of the patrons of railroad days. We believe this incredible sign started its days in the King Street station in Seattle, Washington and was later moved to Everett, Washington in 1959, where it was slated to be destroyed. Fortunately a Great Northern employee stepped in to save it. It was later purchased to be placed in a private collection where it has stayed for many years. A truly fresh to the market piece. Due to the delicate nature of reverse glass this size and the changing climates this time of year this piece of history remains on site in a private location in Washington state and transportation can be coordinated through a third party shipper of your choice. Overall condition is very good with some slight flaking and lifting that absolutely does not distract from the overall remarkable appearance. The walnut case is in immaculate condition considering age. Don't miss this opportunity! Condition: Dimensions: 79.875" x 131" x 22"
