Does anyone have any construction records for this company. I am organizing some of my other builder's plates and I have a plate and would love to know what it is from. It is construction #878 and has the following patent dates - 8-3-97, 8-1-05, and 6-21-10. The plate says AT&SF steam crane on the back. I have had this for about 35 years in storage. Any information is most appreciated.

The AH&D records I have are pretty spotty that far back. This is the closest I can come:

881 Ditcher 02-17 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe #12>#191100

Have you tried contacting American & Ohio Locomotive Crane?

Good luck with the hunt.

Ron:
Call American and Ohio 419-562-6010 and ask for Bill in parts. The company is right down the street from me.
