Post subject:  Misc. Railroad Artifacts
My neighbor's father worked as a boilermaker at the Milwaukee Road shops in Minneapolis. She has two artifacts. The first is a round plate about the size of a Baldwin builder's plate that says "Arcade Reversible" on the top, and on the bottom "6" and "Freeport-Ill." The second piece is about the size of a light switch with a numerical dial in the center. On the top is the name "Mueller," and on the bottom the name "Milwaukee" and the letters "CD"

Does anyone have any idea what they are? I'm totally stumped.

The only "Mueller" I know is Mueller Brass, which had a large factory complex which made metal castings and rod, etc. Wonder if there is any connection?
