Description
Great name! Very rare; we have no record of listing this in the last 10 years. Location: Tucson Mining District, Pima County, Arizona Territory (printed under vignette). Inc. No. 8th, 1881. Certificate number 1, issued to Wm. Sherman on Nov. 18, 1881 in San Francisco. Signed by president George Congdon and secretary Pratt. Not signed on the back. Not cancelled. Black border and print. Vignette of 3 prospectors on the surface. Britton & Rey. 4 x 9" Pinholes, folds, toning around edges. There are 4 William Sherman's listed in the 1881 SF directory: a plumber, a compositor, a seaman, and the Asst. US Treasurer. Our bet is that he is the last one on that list. Sherman appears as a director for the company, along with noted Western mining figure William H. Lent (Comstock and Bodie). Not mentioned in Burchard. Only references found in newspaper databases are about the incorporation. No other details found.Date: 1881Country (if not USA): State: ArizonaCity: Tucson Mining DistrictProvenance:
