Vintage Mining Rail used in the Montana Gold/Silver Mines Zipper Pull 🇺🇸

Description

Listing is for 1 of my clear coated Zipper Pulls.
Zipper Pulls are a slice of my 8 pound rail used in Gold and Silver Mines in Montana( Rail weight is measured by the yard, 1 yard or three feet of this is 8 pounds) and was used during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. I handmade these from a piece of Rail that was manufactured in Colorado in 1881 for the Gold and Silver Mines throughout America. These are something left over when I’m making my Rail Keychains (listed separately). They are in between 1/16 to 1/8 inches thick and weight around 1/2 ounces and are 1 1/2 wide by 1 1/2 long. MADE IN AMERICA.  Please email if you have any questions or would like more images. I will answer you back just as soon as I can since I’m a working Railroader myself. I restored these to the actually color when the rail was first made and coated them in penetrating oil.
This is for 1 Zipper Pull and will be shipped in a padded envelope.
GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC. STEEL WAS MADE AND USED IN THE USA.
