In stripping layers of grunge off the roof of an 1882 wooden car with a soldered flat seam iron roof, I ran across some patches (applied aftermarket) which were stamped: Conklin's C1 Old Style Anybody got any idea what this refers to? Is it a roofing material or were the patches made from recycled cans? Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

I think Conklin was a pen and ink company in the early part of the twentieth century. They perfected the self-filling ink pen. Could it possibly be flattened ink cans? I have a corner cupboard from the late 1860's that has been patched on the back by parts of old cans. ET&WNC Narrow Gauge, old and new! ken290@hiwaay.net |
