1881 because of how nice the strike is.
I wouldn't take it personally. There is something people have posted that he/she seems to be tipping their hat to, is my take. And remember, if...
Great example and fantastic True View images, especially when blown up. Maybe it's just me but the lines between BE of LIBERTY appear to be...

Thanks for the links. Very interesting info and detective work on Mr. Guth's part.
Splendid collection. Eclectic really speaks to me as well. Thank you for sharing a varied and impressive group.
