This is my complete collection of salesman samples, engineering/display models whichever youprefer to refer to them as.The collectionconsists often 1/4 scale couplers some of steel others of aluminum alloy and allare different. Markings consist of variations of company logos,model namesor stampings of\"EX.\" with an assigned number.ManufacturesincludeNationl Malleable andSteel Castings Co. of Cleveland, OHand American Steel Foundries (ASF \"Alliance Coupler\").Also from the National Castings collection is a rare \"Link & Pin\" coupler pocket used in 1800\'s railroading andfabricated from wood. You\'d never guess it at first glance as it is very authentically done.The centerpiece of this collection is a \"TYPE B\" Freight Car Truck in 1/4 scale by NationalMalleable fashioned out of aluminum alloy. Truck is unique and sets on its own section of rail/ties made of wood; journal box lids open/close and brake shoesapply & release to wheels and the axles taper to the center of the truck. This in itself is a very rare detailed item and I have never run across another like it. Moving on we have \"draft gear\" the central framecushioning devicesused in railroad cars. These consist of National\'s \"M-50-B\" spring loaded model; \"M-17\" & \"M-18\" friction models and two rubber cushioning types mounted in National Malleable\'s Y-30 & Y-40 Yokes. Both of these yokes will mount in the railroad freight car frame shown in the pics.Some of my factory literature is shown in the pics but there isway much more not shown that will be provided to the winner. There is quite a bit of company ephemera pictured that adds considerably to the history of National\'s manufacturing of railroad appliances. You are looking at well over 10 years of serious collecting here so now is your chance to own this entire rarer than rare to come acrosscollection of railroad artifacts. Shipping will be included in the final offer price to all the U.S. lower 48; AK & HI will ship for actual cost. This will ship in multiple packages.

Due to what appears to be flagrant abuse of \'s offer retraction policy with whichtheir representatives have concurred I am forced to lower my reserve price. Please offer responsibly as waiting days to claim that you enteredthe wrong amount as an excuse would not have any veracity in a court of law. Again, a big thankyou to allbuyers and sellers here acting responsibly!
