This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/25/2023
A fascinating lot related to some of the finest engravers of the 19th century and the turn of the century. Lot consists of a business card sized advertisement, proclaiming the talent of the Young Brothers in stamp making and fine engraving, with an absolutely minuscule stamp at the center, with 1/300 inch letters; a piece of Young Bros letterhead with their information at top; a telegram signed by Cuno Helfricht to Eugene Young reading "Be here with your tools tomorrow morning without fail", with a torn envelope that has Eugene Young's information, presumably the original envelope for the telegram; a receipt from the armory of the Sharps rifle company to E Rockwell for 15 dollars; a Department of the Interior General Land Office to Henry Bock regarding some disputed territory. CONDITION: Very good. Western Union Telegraph envelope torn but still solid with Eugene's information. Paper wth some ink bleeding, and foxing and spotting common to old paper. An interesting lot.
