Description

#419      731      S. MC KEE & CO.        Blue aqua.       

Produced by S. McKee & Company in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area during the 1860's.  Although they were used in various locations, many of those now in collections surfaced on the original route of the Union Pacific Railroad in Wyoming and Utah.

Appears to be clear coated.  Small marks on the surface range in size from pinhead to smaller than a match head, as seen in the photo.  Only two are slightly larger than a match head, visible on the upper wire ridge and at the base, both to the left in the photo.

 

BUY-NOW option was removed once the reserve price was met.

Buy-Now and auction purchases will be invoiced by email prior to 12 noon, Tuesday, June 2.  Invoices will also be viewable to purchasers on the auction site at that time.
