Such an incredible find! This hardcover 1882 copy of the Eastern Railroad Company General Rules and Regulations for the government and information of employees only was an original copy owned by J.O.Sanborn, the Baggage Master E.E.R of Marblehead MA and includes his original stamp on the front piece, adding an extra piece of historical value to this great item. Solid, tight, complete and 100% unmarked, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to add a valuable piece of historical information to your collection.
This particular volume is considered a prime collector's item because it was issued just two years before the Boston and Maine Railroad leased the Eastern Railroad, marking the end of its independent era.
This 1882 edition represents the "final form" of the Eastern Railroad's independent operating procedures before its 1884 merger.
Finding a copy of this book in any form would be outstanding, but this one has a strong binding, solid spine & 100% unmarked clean pages and was owned by a RR Baggage master.
The chances of ever finding another in this condition would be very slim! Considering that some individual timetables are selling for upwards of $150-$200, this should prove to be a solid investment and valuable addition to any serious collection.
This item will be packaged carefully with additional sturdy cardboard protection to ensure safe travels.
