H. Marrs/ Prop./ Tombstone,/ Ariz.     Good For/ 12 1/2c/ in Trade29mm or 1 1/8" in size"The Town too Tough to Die," Tombstone was he most renowned of old Arizona's mining camps. When Ed Schieffelin came to Camp Huachuca with a party of soldiers and left the fort to prospect, his comrades told him that all he'd find was indians and his tombstone rather than silver. Thus, in 1877 Schieffelin named his first claim  Tombstone, and rumors of rich strikes made a boom town of the settlement that grew up there. Days of lawlessness and violence, which nearly had then-President Chester A. Arthur declaring martial law in Tombstone and sending in military troops to restore order, climaxed with the infamous Earp-Clanton battle, near the rear entrance of the O.K. Corral, on October 26, 1881. Over the course of 7 years Tombstone's mines produced millions of dollars in silver and gold and many a miner whet his whistle in places like the Pony Saloon  before rising underground waters forced suspension of operations.  PayPal, personal checks or money orders will be accepted for payment.
