Very large incline ore car used at a major Nevada City, Calif. mine. About 7' long, 5' high, 4' wide, with about ten feet of rail. Only three wheels present. This is the large axel vaeiety. Several bullet holes. Possibly made at the Miners Foundry in Nevada City. This major car was used on a large incline shaft (similar to the famous Empire Mine) for major production. Cars such as this would have been used in a triple compartment shaft. This car, and the other large cars in this sale, canme from the consignor's family property in Nevada City, where they sat since the 1950's, until moved to Strawberry Valley near LaPorte approximately 30 years ago. This car, as well as the other large cars in this sale, are of great significance to collectors, as few of these larger production cars survive today. FOB Strawberry Valley, equipment accessible. Please note this car is very similar to the car with our inventory number 122709, but varies in diminsion slightly.
