DON'T SPIT ON SIDEWALK. Brick. FREE Shipping

Description

For your consideration is a brick that reads:  DON'T SPIT        ON        SIDEWALK.  This brick was manufactured in Coffeyville, Kansas, during the late 1800s or early 1900s.  Some people will tell you that city leaders had bricks like this used when people chewing tobacco was common.  Other people will tell you that it was to keep germs from diseases like TB away from people.  The length is almost 8 3/4", the width is 4 1/4" and the thickness is almost 2 1/4".
As for how much is missing on the one end:  The measurement is almost the sane as one that looks correct and there is minimal difference between the left and right margins.
This brick is an old item that was used.  It has 0 cracks, however it has several chips.  Some of the chips combined with poor manufacturing, make one end look worse than it actually is.  Some of the chips are larger and some are basically insignificant.  It needs to be properly cleaned.  Please, carefully examine the pictures.
