1889 - This is a silver railroad pass #552 issued on the Silverton Railroad Company. It is a type "B" pass made out to W.H. Crooke. The Type “B” is a little more detailed than a Type “A” with a steam engine spewing a solid stream of smoke instead of puffs and a more detailed 4-4-0 locomotive. The other difference is that on Type “A”, the letters are recessed, while with a Type “B”, the letters are raised. While the engraver etched the December 31, expiration date on the pass, the last two digits of the year was left blank and filled in later by whoever was issuing the pass. In this case, the year is 1889. The pass is very sharp, still very readable and a very beautiful addition for any railroadiana collection. See Lot 540 for the Otto Mears 1890 Silverton Spoon
