Railway/Steamship Pass Goldmine. Original hoard of 69 almost all different railway/steamship passenger courtesy passes running between the dates of 1912 and 1950 for use by either Mr. W. R. MacInnes (vice-president of the CPR) and/or his wife, other family members and maid/governess. MacInnes' job title goes from traffic manager (1912) to vice president to retired vice president (1950). The majority of these passes are from the teens through 1930s. They include an astounding range of various railway lines, the vast majority now defunct or absorbed into larger companies. Possibly unique as an intact hoard. Estimate
