1880s Buena Vista Hose Company #1 Dance Card from Colorado

This is an early dance card for the First Grand Ball of the Buena Vista Hose Company No.1 which took place at the Hiller-Hallock Opera House in Buena Vista, Colorado. The opera house was built in 1882 and is long gone. Inside, one of the dances is dedicated to Company "H", CNG, the Colorado National Guard. Early paper from Colorado is very hard to find, and fire department related even more so.

Circa 1880s.

About 3-1/4" in width by 4-1/2" in height; 4 pages.

Printed card stock.

None.

None.

This is from a large collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. (RCJX06)

8+ (Excellent): Very minor wear, mostly to edges and seam; some very minor staining and discoloration; hole at top was probably used to hold a pencil on a string which is now gone; interior has some names filled in next to various dances.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
