Cabinet Card-Train Wreck-Workers
Item #: NEW-0017129

This card is actually larger than a cabinet cards. It measures 7 by by 5 inches. Poor condition but great content. It shows a group of men standing around and looking like they don't know what to do with the train on its side. Date on the back in Jan 3-98. Other than the white showing, there is wear than cannot be seen in the scan like dents and scratches. I don't believe that they have gone through the coating.

Stage Tickets-Southern Exposition-Louisville Kentucky
Item #: NEW-0014909
|
Click image to enlarge
|
Condition problems with this strip of Stage tickets to the Southern Exposition in Louisville. I think the damage was caused by water, particularly in the middle where it has bleached out and with a tear. It is one long strip but I had to scan the front and bottom. from Wikipedia The Southern Exposition was a five-year series of World's fairs held in the city of Louisville, Kentucky from 1883 to 1887 in what is now Louisville's Old Louisville neighborhood. The exposition, held for 100 days each year on 45 acres (180,000 m2) immediately south of Central Park, which is now the St. James-Belgravia Historic District, was essentially an industrial and mercantile show. At the time, the exposition was larger than any previous American exhibition with the exception of the Centennial Exposition held in Philadelphia in 1876. U.S. President Chester A. Arthur opened the first annual exposition on August 1, 1883.

Rag paper item which I was told was from 1840. The only examples I could find on the web were in archives although a small cache was found recently. The graphics are wonderful, there is some acidic staining which is much heavier on the scan but still unsightly. Could be bleached out by a paper restorer or someone who knows what they are doing. The stock share measures 8 by 10 inches.

Casey Jones Paper Item-Railroad
Item #: NEW-0013416
|
Click image to enlarge
|
The fate of John Luther (Casey) Jones is well known. He was killed in a wreck at Vaughn Mississippi on April 30, 1900 while pulling the Illinois Central's passenger train No 1, The Cannonball Express. "His last words spoken were to his negro fireman, Sim Webb, when he said, "Jump Sim, jump" as he rode his locomotive 382 into the rear end of a freight train standing on the main line." This paper item shows his wife, Mrs Casey Jones who is pictured on one side with a model of the 382 train "while making a personal appearance sponsored by St Francis County Railroad Club." The card was given with a crochet made by Mrs. Janie Brady Jones which she has signed. I assume that the widow was gathering funds for herself and her three children. The card is slightly smaller than a postcard and is in excellent condition despite it being on cheap paper. I believe this to be a very rare item.

Page and a little on the blank backside signed by John B Pay?. Attractive graphics showing the along with the railroad along with the Burlington Steamboat. Stain is more prominent on the scan than on the sheet. Here is part of the history found on the web regarding this small railroad. The Rutland
Railroad was a fabled system located in the New
England area. Based out of Rutland, Vermont the
railroad is best remembered for the large amount of milk and dairy products it
moved over its system and its classic forest green and yellow livery. The
railroad finally succumbed to a long battle of money troubles in the early 1960s
when a strike collapsed any hope of the Rutland
Railroad staying solvent as it shutdown operations in 1961. Today, happily, much
of the former Rutland
Railroad system is still operated by successor Green
Mountain Railroad, which hauls both
freight and excursion passenger service over the line, much to the delight of
the thousands of passengers which arrive annually to ride aboard its popular
trains.
