Does anyone have a copy of the drawing for the "D&RGW harp switch stand" that John W. Maxwell sold for the last 4-5 decades?

It has three notched out lever positions, and says; D & R G W right under those three level positions.

here is a link to great photos of one just like it;

And, here is a link to the last one standing on the D&RGW NG; http://narrowgaugememories.com/v/Rio+Gr ... 0.jpg.html

I have a few hundred of John's drawings, but I never thought I would need a copy of this harp stand so I never got one. It was a wrong decison, not to buy a copy obviously becasues now that I need a copy, the Maxwell collection (colcong.com) is closed until further notice. John's decendants are looking for a new owner/operator.

So can I beg a copy from whomever has one? I think its a one or two 8.5" x 11" plain paper pages copy. I'll gladly pay you for the copy and postage expenses as well.

I certainly appreciate your help with this!
