#1817 734 MC MICKING VICTORIA B.C. 75 Aqua.
Robert McMicking was one of the "Overlanders" who travelled from eastern Canada to the West in the 1860's. He was employed on the "Collins" line in British Columbia, and later became involved with other areas of the communication industry.
Most McMicking embossed insulators now in collections were recovered at two locations along the North Thompson River in British Columbia. They were part of the materials left behind in the mid 1870's when an attempt to construct a cross-Canada land line was abandoned.
Two base chips. One is the size of two pinkie nails placed end to end (visible to the right in the first photo). The dark areas on both outer portions of the skirt in the first photo are natural shadows, and not related to any chips. Second chip is smaller. Otherwise, only a couple small base nibbles.
Buy-Now Price: $90
BUY-NOW lots are subject to the normal 12% buyer premium, added to the Buy-Now price.
All lots in this event numbered #1804 and up are obtainable using two different purchase methods. A bidder has the option of bidding on these lots at the current next raise as an auction item. Or, you may make an instant purchase by clicking the "BUY-NOW" area, positioned just below the green "SUBMIT BID" button.
A reserve has been set on Buy-Now lots. Once the reserve amount has been met, the Buy-Now option will no longer be available.
Buy-Now and auction purchases will be invoiced in the days following the auction (as soon as all buyers indicate if they desire their item be shipped via USPS or delivered to the Springfield show). Invoices will also be viewable to purchasers on the auction site at that time by clicking the "MY ACCOUNT" tab on the upper portion of the auction page
