Why is this pass exceptional? Well, of course, it was issued and signed by Otto Mears. But also because the Otto Mears signature is completely original, and not been "re-inked" like the few others still in existence. What's more, it was issued to Gustave H. Stoiber, one of Silverton's gold magnates, having owned one of the most productive Silver Lake mines, San Juan County, Colorado. Stoiber signed this pass on the back.
