Description:
Silverton, Colorado, USA: San Juan County Book Company, 1996. Reprint . Soft cover. New/No Jacket. 220mm x 140mm x 5mm. 35 Pages with Black/White Photos. This book gives the history of the unusual silver annual railroad passes given by Otto Mears for his Silverton Railroad and Rio Grande Southern Railroad in the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado. It also lists the passes issued by year, serial number and name of recipient, with brief biographical information on most recipients. More recently discovered passes are listed in an insert. Pictures of the three widely-distributed sterling silver passes for 1889, 1890 and 1892 are in the book, as well as the 1888 -buckskin- pass printed on leather and the prototype 1893 stamped silver pass. The silver passes are highly prized by railroadiana collectors, especially the delicate 1892 filigree pass for both railroads. Silverton Specialties Co. offers reproductions of the four silver passes, three as belt buckles and the 1890 as a key tag.
