Rare unissued $1000 bond of the Lake Erie & Western Railway Company, August 15, 1879, 15.75 x 27.75, complete with its 80 coupons below. The handsome oversized bond carries a rate of 6%, payable in "gold coin of the United States." Ornately bordered in bronze, it boasts a fine vignette of a locomotive.
