Manhole Cover Coasters: Philadelphia Transit Set
For the Philadelphia “Phoamer” presented here are four covers dedicated to the mass transportation network: Philadelphia Transportation Company, Philadelphia Rapid Transit, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and The Reading Company. While three of the four companies are no longer extant, all four manhole covers can be found in many parts of the city. Trainspotters and Railfans unite!

Tombino replicates manhole covers from around the world into functional art in the form of coasters, trivets and magnets. Each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. These make the perfect birthday or holiday gift. Each coaster is .25" thick and 4" in diameter. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur, but at this scale good luck noticing.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
“We all have three cities: the one in which we grew up, the one where we live and the one in which we wished we live."-Alan Furst
A custom display rack can be ordered too. See the individual trivets and magnets as well.
