L.G. Tillotson places new instruments on market

An Elegant and Costly Set of Morse Telegraph

Instruments.

Messrs. L. G. TILLOTSON & CO. have just completed the most elegant and costly set of MORSE telegraph instruments ever manufactured in this country, and, so far as we are informed, in any other country. They were made for presentation to a high foreign official, and no labor and expense has been spared to make them superior to anything in this line before produced.

The set consists of a relay, register and key, on an ebony base, of the most costly description, which is highly polished. The relay, register and key are all of the most beautiful workmanship, and all the parts except the magnets are made of solid sterling silver. The register is of the well known TILLOTSON pattern, which was awarded the first premium at the American Institute Exhibition of 1867 - the magnets cased with polished hard rubber casing, which sets off well the rest of the instruments. The paper reel, which is also of solid silver, is on a solid silver base and standard. The standard is surmounted by a silver statuette of Fame, sounding his trumpet. On the four sides of the standard are appropriate figures, also made of silver, representing the four seasons. The trumpet of Fame and the ornamentations of the other figures is of gold. The silver work of the entire set is elegantly burnished and artistically and appropriately chased. This set of instruments cost $2,500, and the official for whom they are intended can rest assured of being the possessor of a set of telegraph instruments which for excellence and beauty, and value of material, design and finish, have not their counterpart anywhere.

The design and execution of this set of instruments reflects much credit upon TILLOTSON & CO., and cannot fail to add to their already excellent reputation. They can be seen at their store, No. 8 Dey street, for a few days, before being forwarded to their destination, and all who desire to inspect them will be cordially welcomed. They will well repay inspection, and telegraphers especially will be gratified with an illustration of the elegance and artistic beauty of which the ordinary instruments of their every-day use are susceptible. We would advise all who can do so to call and see them.
