Extremely rare 1900s railroad conductor uniform lot!!!
In this lot you will be getting a very very heavy winter coat the maker is HIRSCH WEINTRAUB & Co as you can see from the photos the outer pockets appear to have a lot of wear on them same with the cuffs of the sleeves. I will enclose all measurements at the end of this description.
You also will be getting a normal suit jacket which is made by Richman brothers this is missing a button
A pair of black dress pants with 6 buttons (no zipper was ever put on these pants)
A railroad vest with the gold tone buttons with the initials CRC (those could be in any order really I am not sure the exact order the initials should be.
And another vest with just plain black buttons
An actual railroad whistle
And 5 little booklets
- the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company August 6th 1919
- the pocket treasury
—the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company safety rules for the guidance of employees may 1, 1920
- the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railroad company rules 1921
-the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis railroad company safety rules march 16, 1926
* all of these items came out of one railroad steamer trunk, I do have the trunk and if you would like to purchase separately I would be willing to do local pickup in northeast Ohio (it is pretty large) just reach out and let me know.
Please note none of these items have been cleaned! They are old, original and have been stored for many many years they have a very old type smell to them and they are not in perfect condition but other than the very heavy winter coat they appear in pretty good shape!!! These are rare pieces of American History!!
