Offered here is a pair of certificates of deposit for first mortgage bonds from The Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad Company, dated 1887. Both are unissued and one still has its receipt attached. The Denver, South Park &
Pacific Railroad was a legendary Colorado narrow gauge mountain line
running from Denver to Leadville via Boreas Pass and the High Line
through Breckenridge. It also ran to Gunnison and beyond through the
famous Alpine Tunnel. It was later reorganized as the Denver, Leadville
& Gunnison and then became part of the Colorado & Southern
Railroad system.
You will receive the exact certificates shown, #211 & #241. Condition is excellent as shown in photos. Cox shows a value of $50-$75 each so this pair is priced very reasonably.
