<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 428196, member: 136&quot;]Here&#039;s another oddity I unearthed in my attic today.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]149930[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My late father-in-law was a train engineer. Except for a few years in the Army during WWII, he worked for New York Central/Conrail for 50+ years.</p><p><br /></p><p>This 8x10 print used to hang in his kitchen. It was framed in a wooden &quot;dime store&quot; type frame with a corrugated cardboard backing. I took it out of the frame today.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is printed on a shiny, sort of heavy paper (like a sturdy magazine cover, perhaps) with the words THE MAGIC TOUCH appearing on the back. (Was that a 3M product?)</p><p><br /></p><p>I imagine the train is the famous 20th Century Limited and that the picture itself is pre-1967. Beyond that, I don&#039;t know much about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The signature at the bottom right is done in ball point ink and appears to be &quot;real&quot;. It seems to read ROBERT something, but I&#039;m not sure:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]149931[/ATTACH] </p><p>I also have no idea what the scribbled part at the end is all about(?) 51? 57?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the back side of the paper:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]149932[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any ideas or insight about this one?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks very much![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
