Description

Chicago and NorthWestern Railway: 1915 System Pass


If you have purchased any of these passes from previous auctions of mine, the items I am offering now are of the same quality and condition.
These are from railway and steamship lines and they all date from the turn of the last century.
The pass cards are all in EXCELLENT condition unless otherwise noted.

Any passes which are not in Excellent/MINT condition will receive a brief description after this introduction.
Please note: I have tried to reproduce the colors of these cards as best I can. In some cases there may be
slight variations in hue or brightness because of the scan. None of the cards have faded or discolored.

Clicking on picture will open larger image file.
Shipping is still Free to US and Canada.
I do NOT take PayPal but gladly accept personal check or Money Order.
Please see my blog post on the PayPal issue for more on this.
No overseas bidders. Sorry. Canada/Mexico is alright.

Please write me with any questions.
I would prefer you contact me through this e-mail link rather than Ebay's messaging system.
Satisfaction guaranteed: return for any reason!

Thankyou and good luck bidding!
 
These passes include some interesting provenance in that they were owned by Mr. J.D. Hawks, the Superintendant of the Detroit and Mackinac Railway (the so-called, "Turtle Line.") Mr. Hawks was a major figure in the development of the Michigan railway system and was a close, personal friend of Henry Ford. Prior to becoming the V.P. and G.M. of the Detroit and Mackinac, Hawks was Chief Engineer for the Michigan Central Railroad. In 1892 he was appointed General Manager of the Detroit, Bay City and Alpena Railroad. The Detroit, Bay City and Alpena went into receivership in 1893, whereupon Hawks was appointed Vice President and General Manager for the Michigan Central. More information is available online for anyone interested in researching the life of this notable personality in railroad history.

Because Hawks was such a well-known railroad executive, he most likely did not need to carry these system passes around with him, which probably explains why they are all in such superb condition.

Thank you for your interest.
