Extremely RARE!! Fresh from a local estate.

As best I can determine, this is a very early artifact from the CIOB, circa 1903-1914. Possibly worn by railway employees, such as conductors, firemen, or engineers, etc.

Possibly the only such artifact to survive. Undoubtedly rare, and certainly worthy of further research. (Any additional information is appreciated.)

Measures 6 3/4" x 3 1/4"

Displays beautifully, and sold just as-found, with no rips, tears, hidden damage, or repairs. Folds, and several small pinholes, as shown.

Guaranteed to be original and antique, and not a reproduction.

The greatest imperial dream of all was to connect the might of Europe to the potential riches of the Middle East and the Ottoman Empire. In 1903 Imperial Germany, under Kaiser Wilhelm II, began to construct a railway which would connect Berlin to the Ottoman city of Baghdad, and project German power all the way to the Persian Gulf. The Ottoman Emperor, Abdul Hamid II, meanwhile, saw the railway as a means to bolster crumbling Ottoman control of Arabia. Shipping & HandlingBack to Top
