Figure 24. — Hot-water and chocolate pitchers of the 10-piece, silver tea 

 service presented to Bollman by his fellow employees when he resigned from 

 the Baltimore and Ohio in 1858. A railroad motif was used throughout, 

 each piece being circled at top and bottom by a track, complete with 

 rail of accurate section and ties. Spouts are in simulation of hexagonal 

 sheet-iron chimneys, with seams riveted, and the handles are in the form 

 of a surveyor's telescope. On the various pieces are engraved the designs 

 of the more important B. & O. bridges. Throughout is a wonderful profu- 

 sion of bits and objects of railroadiana in low relief, high relief, and fully 

 modeled. In Board of Directors Room, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 

 Company, Baltimore, Md. (Photo courtesy of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.)
