This listing is for the Vintage Pikes Peak Colorado Stagecoach Charm, Alt 14,110 Ft. Souvenir. The charm features intricate detailing, including open sides that reveal an interior and six windows. A prominent banner is engraved with "PIKE PEAK ALT 14110," commemorating the mountain's former official altitude. The inscription refers to Pikes Peak, an iconic "fourteener" (mountain over 14,000 feet) in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Historically known as "America's Mountain," Pikes Peak was a crucial landmark during the mid-19th-century Colorado Gold Rush, inspiring the famous motto "Pike's Peak or Bust." The elevation listed on the charm, 14,110 feet, was the mountain's official height for several decades following a 1963 survey, and the number endures on many historical souvenirs even after a 2002 survey updated the official height to 14,115 feet. Great Find!!!
