Lot #439 - 6 "Sample" Passes from the East
This group of passes has 6 sample
printings. Samples were made to verify the layout, color, printing size and
other features. The railroad would request samples annotate them and then
ask for changes. Samples are interesting because they show what might have
been. They are often odd sizes and they often have blank backs. The
railroads that requested them often "hole punched" them so that
they could not be used. This group includes: (1) Youngstown - Sharon Railway and Light
Company NJ - no date, blank reverse (2) 1899 West Shore Railroad - date on
reverse, one hole punch (3) Jamestown Westfield &
Northwestern Railroad - over-sided with 1980 reproduction printer reference
on reverse (4) Pittsburgh Shenango & Lake Erie
(B&LE) - glue corner stains on reverse (5) Gettysburg & Harrisburg - South
Mountain RR - Gettysburg Monument vignette - 2 hole punch (6) Cumberland Valley 1870 - extra clean Condition varies, please see the pictures.
