GHOST TOWN GOLDFIELD NEVADA HOTEL ITEM

[Land-Sea]

Hello all,
Just thought you all would enjoy seeing this item I discovered the other day. Comes from the ghost town of Goldfield Nevada. It is a butterpat used at THE GOLDFIELD hotel. The hotel was built in 1908 and closed shortly after World War II. George Wingfield was the owner and they say it was built over a dry mine shaft. The hotel cost $300 k to build and was said to be the finest between the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Ocean. Jake

Thanks all. Thanks PBK for the weblink. That sure helps put things in perspective. I was thinking may $100 buy $300 works even better. Came in a box lot of 50 butter pats. I bought mostly for some Railroad pats and did not even see the Goldfield when I bought the box. Jake
