A Collectible Certificate from the

 

READING COMPANY 

 

This Historic Railroad Line has become a Byword to so many because of the

Monopoly Game

but it started way back in 1833 (!!!) as the Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road to serve the Huge Coal-Mining Region of Pennsylvania.  It acquired its present name in 1924 and continued to thrive until declining coal traffic and competition with the Interstate Highway System brought it into Bankruptcy in the 1970s.

So this is the Last Certificate they issued!!!

It features an absolutely wonderful Vignette of one of its Famous Freight Trains pulling out of an Industrial Region and flanked by two fascinating Allegorical Figures.  On the left is a muscular figure holding a Cogwheel - Symbol of Industry - and on the right we see Mercury - Symbol of Communication - with his characteristic Winged Feet, Winged Helmet and bearing the Caduceus which is his most famous Emblem.

You really need to see it Up Close !
