Lot Description
[OIL]. Daily Stage Line From Warren to the Kinzua Oil Field! [Pennsylvania]: N.p., n.d.
14 15/16 x 9 5/16 in. printed broadside (toning, adhesive residue, red ink spots); framed to 17 1/2 x 13 1/2 in. (not examined out of frame).
Advertisement for a stagecoach line between Warren, PA, and the Kinzua Oil Field. Illustrated with a coach pulled by a team of four horses. The Kinzua Village oil fields date to 1865 when the Kinzua Oil Company and the Kinzua OIl Association were organized and six wells were drilled, though records indicate that they were not prodigious producers. A "Kinzua Gusher" occurred in 1885, and though projected to be productive, only yielded 25 barrels.
Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
