Here's a nice go-with for the discerning collector of early telegraph-related items. This piece measures 8 1/4" by 5 1/8" and is nicely yellowed with age. It has some light tattering at the top edge and one 1" long tear at the left upper side but otherwise appears to be in great shape. It's dated November 6th, 1874 and was filled at Burlington (I assume Ontario) and was sent from Waterdown (also in Ontario). It would look great displayed next to an M.T.Co. CD 742 which would no doubt have been in abundant use on the M.T.Co. system when it was sent.

I'm now asking $23 USD plus $2 USD for letter mail shipping anywhere within the continental USA. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
