Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Boston EEICO
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Boston EEICO
Founded by Edison’s New York-based company in the mid-1880s, the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston lasted until 1901 when it was gobbled up by Consolidated Gas. In 1936 that name changed to ConEd, which is a massive entity today. This gridded cover can be found at Ashmont Station and features a square grid with three pickpoints at the rim, block lettering, and four ports. One of the latter has been transformed into an Edison icon.
The perfect gift for housewarmings, and anniversaries each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The trivets are .375" thick and 7" in diameter with rounded edges. 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.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
