Lot #459 - 5 unissued Passes from the West
This group of passes has a sample
printing. 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) Great Northern 1903 - unissued (2) Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe 1881
(sample - blank reverse) (3) San Luis Central 1940-41 - Potato
artwork - unissued (4) Utah Railway 1940-41 - unissued (5) Yosemite Valley Railroad 1937-38 -
issued - hole punch Condition varies, please see the pictures.
