Item Description
The concept of this item is identical to the previous but this does not have a cardboard coupon on the back for the receipt of a Survivor's Medal. Again the celluloid is 1.75" this time with serial number "119" with reverse of the piece carrying W&H maker's name. The 6" ribbon reads at top "Third Annual/Evening Telegram/Century Run,/Bedford Ave, Brooklyn To Rockaway/Beach And Return,/Saturday, Oct. 15, 1898." Below this is the "Itinerary" with a few highlights being: Coney Island, Rockaway Beach (dinner at Schilling's) and ending after 100 miles back at Bedford Fountain. The arrival time for this ride was 5:40 in the morning with a departure time of 6:00a.m. and the ride concluded at 8:00p.m. Again the bottom of the ribbon reads "Bring Your Lamp." Tiniest age trace on the ribbon. Exc. and displays N. Mint. Rare.
