About this Item

Handbill, 8 ¾ x 6 inches, employing several sizes and styles of type. The auction, to be held in Nashville, June 1, 1881, would offer 11,800 acres "near the Tennessee River, known and designated as Brownsport Furnace, well-built and with all the improvements and appliances for operating a first-class iron works … this property is esteemed as valuable as any in the South or West for the purpose of manufacturing first rate iron … iron ore of the most superior quality abounds on the lands to be sold." The furnace was apparently never used again and is now a public park. Fold lines, some soiling, but very good.
