MANHOLE COVER COASTERS BOSTON

from $4.00

Boston, or informally Beantown, is the capital of Massachusetts and the city where the Revolution began. As one of America’s oldest cities, Boston is full of history. Some of that history is cast in iron and etched here in all its glory. The Boston Elevated Railway lasted from 1901 to 2004 and eventually succumbed to the T below ground and the valuable real estate above ground. Cars make their way through the Artery Tunnel, also known as the Big Dig, which took from inception in 1987 to completion in 2007. Tragically, a cover was not properly seated resulting in the death of Caitlin Clavette, when it flipped up into her vehicle’s windshield. A hexagonal motif dominates The Edison Light Company’s cover with a mini-map of the city at a pickpoint. A Celtic clover sits at the center of an older Boston Sewah covah. One can find that one all ovah.

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.
