Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:Baltimore & Ohio
At over 180 years old, this gorgeous deep cobalt-on-white dinner plate is one of the very earliest pieces of American railroad china ever made – it dates from the late 1820s, when the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was in its infancy. It is very heavy ware, more like pottery than restaurantware or porcelain china, and is easily mistaken at first glance for "flow blue." Our plate is 9 inches across with a deep well. It was manufactured about 1828 by Enoch Wood of Burslem, England as part of a series ...

This heart shaped brass switch lock from the Fitchburg Railroad was made by Bohannan and carries a patent date of June 25, 1878.

$220 USDIncredible Matched Pair Dashboard Flower Vases - Extremely Early Auto or Horsedrawn Vehicle
Collectibles:Transportation:Dashboard Vases
We are proud to offer this incredible pair of very early glass vases with tin brackets, designed to hold bouquets of flowers on the dashboard or upright panels of an early automobile -- or perhaps even more likely, a horse drawn vehicle, such as a coach or even a hearse. We are leaning toward the theory that they are from a horsedrawn vehicle -- possibly a hearse -- since it seems clear they were intended to be mounted and viewed from the outside. Their plain, tall brackets would shield the ...

Below, in the center of the hasp is a stamped number 82 which is difficult to read because of a bump to the hasp. This older lock takes a key with a straight cut. Unfortunately, we do not have a key for it. We are not sure whether this ...
