The Adams Express Company was similar to Wells Fargo that they shipped and guarded precious metals, documents, bank transfers, etc. The collection includes a 19th century inspector's badge stamped "Wagon Service Department", one of the earliest badges we have seen from this company. Measures 3" x 2-1/4". It is silver with eagle on top. Also include an 1890's dated and stamped Adams Express Company shipping receipt with tax stamp. And an original Adams Express Company Pennsylvania Division envelope dated January 26th, 1888 with stamp. Comes with two Adams Express uniform buttons off a guard coat. If you have an Adams Express marked revolver, you would have an extremely nice 19th century collection.
