Full Description
Before the transcontinental railroad and the automobile, there was the overland stagecoach. Rattling through bad lands wrought with danger, it connected the burgeoning towns of the great frontier, delivering its cargoes of gold, company payrolls, the mail, and the brave men and women who settled the West. This precision-engineered scale model is a fitting tribute to their tenacious spirit -- and to the distinguished history of Wells Fargo. Rich with authentic detail.
From the driver and "shotgun" seats to the spoked wheels and realistic interior, this precision model is hand-assembled from over 150 individual parts with genuine leather window shades, vintage graphics and complete with scale-size strongbox, shotguns & luggage.
Wells Fargo was established in San Francisco by Henry Wells and William Fargo as a banking and express operation on March 18, 1852. At the time, it was the peak of the California Gold Rush, a period of fervid speculation, investment, and fortune-seeking, and Wells Fargo offered miners a rock of stability by offering a variety of dependable banking and express services. Nine years after its founding Wells Fargo operated the Pony Express between Sacramento and Salt Lake City. What the Pony Express did for mail, the Wells Fargo Overland Stagecoach did for passengers, bringing thousands to the American frontier. With the Pony Express and Stagecoach network, Wells Fargo controlled the transportation and mail operations in the United States, and established a network that extended over 3,000 miles in the West.
Now, the legendary Wells Fargo Overland Stagecoach is re-created in an extraordinary precision-engineered replica by Franklin Mint Precision Models, filled with a wealth of authentic detail, graphics and design that is the benchmark of Franklin Mint Precision Models.
