Description

Fuld OH-165D-1b is the brass card of F.M. Ashton of Cincinnati, Ohio. The code is short because Ashton holds a single merchant letter, D, in Fuld's Cincinnati section, town 165; after it come die pair 1 and the letter b for brass. PCGS records a plain edge and notes that the piece it graded is holed. NGC dates the card to the 1861-65 bracket. Cincinnati was placed under martial law in September 1862 when Confederate troops threatened it from Kentucky.
