Description

Fuld MA-115EA-1b is a brass (b) card from Boston, Massachusetts, bracketed 1861-65 by NGC. In the number, 115 is Boston, EA is the merchant code and 1 is the die pair. It advertises a remedy rather than a shop: a dealer's description of the copper striking of these dies reads "Pulmonales For Coughs And Colds" on one side and "Union & Liberty" on the other, and calls Pulmonales an early patent medicine.
