Railroad Ephemera and Advertising - Day 1
Rail & Road Auctions
Our Thursday session is filled with a selection of vintage paper, some china, lanterns, ticket dater, keys, passes, and more.
The core of the paper comes from a western Illinois based collection which highlights the Chicago & Alton and other railroad in the St. Louis area. The Chicago & Alton paper and passes in this sale are really special and include a handful of pieces rarely seen for sale. This collection was not only limited to the Midwest, he collected late 1800’s and early 1900’s timetables and passes from around the United States which are included in this sale.
Another paper highlight in this session includes the collection of one of the heads of maintenance of way for the Pennsylvania Railroad out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. During his time he collected a number of interesting Pennsylvania items including freight car, passenger, and locomotive diagrams, original Pennsylvania service structure blue prints, track charts, and more. There are also a number of operational books for maintenance of way machines such as the Jordan Spreader, Burro Crane, and more.
Along with these two groups of paper we will have a selection of lanterns, cap badges, baggage tags, keys, and locks.
Highlights of the Thursday sale include a 1904 Colorado Midland color timetable, 1902 Chicago and Alton “Fencing Girl†advertising calendar, a group of pre Civil War Chicago and Rock Island stock certificates, a set of original architectural plans for the Toledo, Ohio passenger station from the Pennsylvania Railroad (Dated 1879 and 1902), and a St. Louis Public Service Company destination roll.
This description is just a sample of the 350 lots that we’ll have on the first day alone. Don’t miss viewing the entire catalog!
