Description

The listing, ***A PIECE HISTORY DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR!*** has ended.

+++Attention people who collect vintage and Historical artifacts!+++
Everyone knows one of the LARGEST food companies in the world, "Nabisco" right? Well what we have here is a 100% authentic name plate (90-100 years old.) Found in one of the original Nabisco Manufacturing building in Chicago IL. The building is now known as "Pace industries" but over 100 years ago, it was the "The National biscuit company/Nabisco"

***STORY*** My father has been the loyal Manager of Pace Industries for over 13 years and works in that very old building to this day. He found some original Nabisco name plates among other things in an old railroad tunnel that runs through the building. He worked out a deal with the owner of the building (His boss) and was able to keep the stack! He gave me a few of these and I want to share one or two! =) These are 100% real and Historic. The last picture is the building that STILL has NBC on it! =) I'm visiting my hometown in IL in less than a month and might pick up a few more depending on how this goes.

++++My father is a HUUUUGE history collector so if there are any suggestions, I may be able to list some different historical items depending on how this goes++++

Please be careful as there is rust!

Thanks SO much for looking =)

Very kool I love the history part of it. My cousin husband (who recently passed away) was retired from Nabisco. He had been a regional sales rep for many years. I'll tell her about the auction.

Sorry that he passed away. =( That's really neat that he retired from there! Yeah I love the history part too! My father sold some at his coin show and a man there wanted them all!! Thanks so much=)

I'm watching and fanning. I hope that you can get your Father to get some pictures of the railroad tunnel. You know with all the development, there is little if any consideration for history, art, architecture...

Jul 12th, 2011 at 9:06:22 PM PDT by

He has them!! =D I need to get my hands on them so I can post a few more of these!! =) I agree though. People should truly cherish and appreciate history more!
