Our area opened up to "European" settlement with the discovery of Gold in the early 1860s- The Cariboo Gold Rush.

It came into the collection with no history, but presumably was from an abandoned mining site.

From poking around on the internet it is earlier than the material in the Glasgow archives. Hoping someone can suggest some leads.

Marked A Barclay/Engineer/Kilmarnock/May1866. No. 407. Rectangular 3 cm thich, 49 cm wide , 37.5 cm high.

I am a Curator at a community Museum in Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. Seeking information about a boiler plate in our collection.
