This is a lot of 3 fabulous pieces from the booming years of Nevada City! The Rector Brothers came to California in 1874 and eventually became the proprietors of the Union Hotel in Nevada City. In 1886, the two acquired the National Exchange, which became known as the National Hotel. All 3 of the following pieces in this group were issued to the Rector Bros. 1) Three month tavern license, no. 151. It is dated April, 6, 1887 and was good until July 6, 1887.
