Stereographs project Business locations Aspinwall, Panama *"Photographer"; single view reported, taken with single lens camera, of P.R.R. Co. hospital. Also issued fine but rare series of SIs of the Col¢n area, ships, bldgs., etc. Vintage of these views is unclear; their format is reminiscent of the 60s/70s. Aspinwall was former name of Col¢n; there are several refs. on his cards to "P.R.R. Co." (the Panama Rail Road Co.) which was completed in 55; this would seem to date them much prior to creation of the Canal Zone in 03 and construction of the canal. However, the country is given as "U.S.C.", presumably standing for U.S. Canal, which would date them post-03. If "U.S.C." stands for U.S. Concession, this might date them earlier to the period when there was only a railroad across the isthmus, but I've found no geographical references to a "U.S. Concession".
