Wonderful pair of the The Lehigh Valley Railroad, Route of the Black Diamond Horse Bridle RosettesThe Lehigh Valley Railroad was another of the many Northeastern carriers built to move anthracite coal from eastern Pennsylvania to points east and west (the Great Lakes). So, its motto, Route Of The Black Diamond , was quite befitting. The LV has also gained much interest to those who study American railroading history and the now-fallen flag carriers along the way; likely because of the railroad’s underdog status in the markets it served (Buffalo to New York City). Unfortunately the Lehigh Valley was never a strong carrier following the Great Depression and of all the Northeastern Class I railroads, the LV was without doubt the weakest, struggling to make ends meet for much of its last four decades of existence. Following the railroad’s inclusion into Conrail in 1976 its routes were mostly abandoned in favor of its surrounding competitors and today, much of the LV is but overgrown paths and walking trails. Brass and glass dome all good. Brass has minimal green patina on back side. Very nice pair for the collector. These rosettes measure approx 1.3/4" in diameter. NO RESERVE UN REAL LOW START BID!!
