This is a higher quality note but it was 'net' graded for rust, which must be very minor because I don't see it. It does have a couple of minor splits though. PMG notes: rust. Bowbells, located about 12 miles south of the Canadian border, is the county seat of Burke County. The population was 336 at the 2010 census; a peak population of 806 was recorded in 1950. The city of Bowbells was founded in 1896 along the main line of the Soo Line Railroad and incorporated in 1906. The city was named by railroad officials after the famed Bow bells at St. Mary-le-Bow in London, England The post office was established January 29, 1898 with John Lesh as Postmaster. Bowbells was named the county seat when Burke County organized in 1910, and it became a two-railroad town in 1913 with the arrival of the Great Northern Railroad.
