I have a M22 brake valve for sale. $450.00

Not familiar with this one. What is the typical application (car or locomotive)?

M22 is a combined straight air / automatic valve typically seen in interurban applications.

The poster seems to be selling locomotive parts, so that is probably not what he meant. Can you upload a photo?

Yes it is a traction brake valve, it was with a bunch of locomotive parts I picked up years ago and it needs a new home. I will take a picture to post

A quick plug for PNAERC, which I co-administer along with Frank H of IRM. Here is a search query that will show you all know preserved cars that use the M22 traction valve:

Looks like IRM is the big winner here, with numerous IT cars. But some other organizations as well. Look at the entries where [M22] is in square brackets. That means, as far as Frank & I know, the car is incomplete and is lacking the brake equipment.

Your market for this valve is likely to be limited, unless some collector wants it to put in a collection of brake valves in numerical order, M21, ME21, M22, M22A, M23, etc. The one collector I can think of passed away last year and besides he already had one.
