Description
From the sellerThis is the great, RARE, original set of two photographs. (See scans). They show the old Steamer H.A. Root, tied up at Saugatuck in 1886 with a huge load of lumber on the dock. This set is market fresh, newly acquired from a large local collection. They are identified, with a copy of the detailed history, old and original, and in fair condition with some staining, flaws, small folds/creases and minor other wear. The smaller one measures 6-5/8” by 4-1/2”. The larger one measures 6-3/4” by 4-3/4”. It is a nice, RARE, original set. Free Shipping first class mail. Good Luck and happy bidding! Thank You! -John
