Description

#251     162     H.G. CO.   PATENT MAY 2 1893.     PETTICOAT.     True yellow.

A color seldom encountered in a HG Co signal!  Examples of true yellow Hemingray-19's change hands periodically, but the patent dated HG Co is a whole different story, as they are many times rarer!  

A small number of these attractively colored signals were found in the Pacific Northwest, and reportedly in the Midwest region of the US.  They are among the most highly sought items for a collector of HG Co and Hemingray signals.

Shallow chip above two drip points as seen in the first photo.  Bruise above three drip points as seen to the right in the second photo.  Flaking to drip points as seen in both photos, but none are completely removed, and there are no chips besides the small one previously described. A pretty nice looking example!
