Receipts
Receipts
from railroads are usually simple pieces of paper testifying
to the purchase or sale of items or services.
I list receipts in this catalog only if they:
This
subscription receipt from the Illinois Central railroad allowed
European bearers to buy 6% $1000 bonds in London in the early
1850s. The pink cancellations were probably applied to stacks
of these receipts with an ink-soaked rag.
This
early receipt is an installment receipt for the Columbus &
Xenia Rail Road Co. This item appeared in an internet
auction in 2000.
I strongly recommend buying the Cox Catalog 3rd Edition from your favorite
SCRIPOPHILY DEALER.
