In the late 1800s, Andrea T. Gavell, a veteran train car maker for the Rock Island Railroad System, developed a technique for working on the glass faces of a number of clocks, which were later put into executive offices. Due to the rising demand for mother-of-pearl inlays, the company obtained bids on a commercial basis to produce 50 signs over a period of two years for $50.00 each. The signs were painted by hand using a black and white photo taken by the Detroit Photographic Co. and copyrighted in 1900.

The present sign, which once adorned the walls of company stations, is one of only a few known to exist today. 78 x 17 inches. $20,000-30,000
