Offered here is an original 1896 letterhead from The Colorado Iron Works Company, Mining Machinery Dealer and Manufacturer, Denver Colorado. Measures 8.50 x 10.75. Letter written to the Holter Hardware Company in Helena, Montana, regarding the shipping and cost of Ore Buckets and Ore Cars. Looks like an Ore Bucket would have set you back $.2.75 back in the day. Notes the company provided Smelting Furnaces, Cyanide Plants and Boilers and Engines. Owned and run by Mr. John W. Nesmith as President and his wife Isabel Nesmith-Evans as the Treasurer and Secretary. Fancy masthead, and a great display piece of Denver and Helena Montana mining history. Thanks for looking!
