This is a small collection of copperplate engravings and some medallions. The copper plates contain two circles per plate with two locations listed along the edge and in the center it says “One Seat Car No.X.” These plates date from circa 1836 and 1838. The places are mostly points along the Reading's main line from Philadelphia to Pottsville, Pennsylvania. There is one notable exception, Orwigsburg was once the seat of Schuylkill County but was not on the Reading Railroad line. They are presumably some sort of seat check. The actual way tickets were handed out and taken up in the early days of railroading is often obscure. They may have been used as a through ticket when transferring to a stagecoach north of Reading, which might account for Orwigsburg. The collection also contains three medallions, two related to the Jamestown Centennial Exposition in 1907 and one from Baldwins Standard Dried Beef.
