Comment
Faneuil Hall is misspelled as FANUEIL on both sides. HT-163A (R-5, 31-75 known) is identical except it has periods after HALL, CLOTHING, AND WAREHOUSE on the reverse. HT-164 & 165 have the later company name Wm. H. Milton & Co. Interestingly, Faneuil Hall still stands as a marketplace in Boston.Photo: Tony Hisgett
