About GrafixMat Coasters:
Each GrafixMat® is a work of art, masterfully laser-engraved on the cork front with a unique and amusing story colorfully illustrated on its flip-side. For a treasured gift or your own personal collection; select one or create a set of 2, 4, 6 or more from 21 themed Collections totaling more than 500 contemporary and fine art designs. Made from eco-friendly recycled cork from Portugal and Spain, yet handcrafted in the U.S.A. GrafixMats® are so artfully designed and intriguing, we've created a hanging hole in the back of each coaster.

The Back Story:
The Industrial Age
Among the thousands of mechanical devices which we find around us there is none that is more fascinating than the steam locomotive. Not even aviation with its supersonic jets can compare glamor wise with the steam locomotive. Its rugged outlines, its great size, its tremendous power and its aggressive throbbing and ear pounding noise — it has become the perfect symbol of the machine age. When steam locomotion disappears completely from our railroads we are going to lose a part of Americana that can never be replaced but which will, instead, leave a void.
