High bid $275.00

Status: Sold

Three packages of three prints each that look like they are from the 1960's or 1970's. Each set is from the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company - also known as Chessie Systems or C&O Railroad. Each set contains three prints - "Chessie" in the classic sleeping pose, "Chessie and Kittens" with two kittens sleeping beside her and "Peake... Chessie's Old Man" with Peake sitting pretty. Each measures11.5"H x 10"W and is ready to frame. When C&O RR introduced Chessie along with the slogan "Sleep Like a Kitten" on their air conditions trains, she was an instant hit. All prints are in very good unused condition and are in sets of three, each in the original envelopes. The envelopes have some age discoloration but the prints do not. KS
