These collectible New York Telephone Change Cards each have a value of $5.25 and feature artwork tied to the Ellis Island Series, showcasing important historical sights and symbols associated with American immigration and landmarks.
The first card in the series depicts Ellis Island’s main immigration building. In the foreground are stacks of luggage and crates labeled with countries such as "Italy," reflecting the origins of many immigrants. The upper section contains the denomination scale, “$5.25 COIN REPLACEMENT CARD,” and a partial American flag motif with stars and stripes.
The second card presents the Statue of Liberty standing prominently on Liberty Island, visible in the background above various crates and luggage. The boxes are tagged with countries or places including “England,” indicating the diverse origins of immigrants arriving in New York. The card also includes the American flag design motif and the “New York Telephone Change Card” branding.
The third card focuses on a ship's steering wheel within a sunlit cabin area. To the left, two men in historical attire stand near a window. Luggage and crates are stacked around the cabin, some labeled with place names, alongside an artful “ELLIS ISLAND” wooden sign above the wheel. This card highlights maritime passage as part of the immigrant experience.
The fourth card shows a docked steamship named “John F. Meagher” moored beside a pier. Crates and luggage are arranged in the foreground, including a box marked “Coffee.” The background architecture and dockside elements reinforce the New York harbor theme. In all cards, the “ELLIS ISLAND SERIES” label appears in red in the lower right.
Together, these four cards visually celebrate American immigration history through detailed artistic scenes involving Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, and related maritime and dockside settings, reflecting iconic American landmarks and the immigrant experience in New York City.
