Description

Fuld IN-175E-1a is a copper store card of S.S. Lavey, struck from die pair 1 with a reeded edge according to PCGS; both the title and NGC date it 1861-65. Columbia, Indiana is town 175 in Fuld's list, E is Lavey's merchant letter, and the closing a stands for copper. A dealer's description of a copper piece from these dies reads Lavey as watchmaker and jeweler, with the town given on the die as Columbia City and a line for clocks, watches and jewelry.
