Description:

This collectible phone card from New York Telephone features a detailed image related to Ellis Island, a significant American landmark and historical site in New York City. The main visual depicts the helm of a boat, prominently centered, symbolizing transportation to Ellis Island. Surrounding the helm are passengers dressed in period attire, reflecting immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, along with various pieces of luggage, emphasizing the experience of travelers and immigrants entering the United States.

The card is identified as a $5.25 Coin Replacement Card, with the denomination clearly printed in the upper right corner against an American flag-themed background. Along the top left, the card shows the “New York Telephone Change Card” branding. Across the bottom section of the card, the word “ELLIS ISLAND” appears embedded in a historical-style plaque design, with “ELLIS ISLAND SERIES 3” printed in red to reinforce the theme.

This card highlights key American themes including immigration, historical landmarks, and waterways associated with New York City’s history. It connects visually and culturally to the National Monument that Ellis Island represents in American history, portraying pivotal elements like the boat helm, passengers, and luggage within the context of the Ellis Island immigrant experience.
