Lot #85 - Attleborough Branch Railroad Corporate Sealer 1870

 

mi03 Railroad Attleborough Branch  Size mixed Condition Good + This is a very interesting Massachusetts item. It was made by J. H. Powers & Co., Boston, Mass. It is the corporate sealer from the Attleborough Branch Railroad. This is a New Haven predecessor. A prior owner went to the trouble to have the male die made from the impression of the female die. The impression it makes is 1 3/4" in diameter. The sealer has a smooth working mechanism and it has original red and gold paint trim. Because it's basically cast iron, it's heavy. An unusual piece of hardware in very good condition. Return to start of Auction Listing copyright Scott Czaja 2012
