I assume you've looked up what even those type of plates are going for now?

Reminds me of a guy I knew in Maryland, his Dad worked for the PRR and came home with dozens of steam builder plates, so many that they used them as 'stepping stones' to their front door. He showed me a blurry photo clearly showing them. He was off to college when his mother decided to get rid of them and she made his Dad throw them all into the trash bins. Not long before she passed, he told her how much they were going for by then and his mother said, "That was the dumbest thing I ever did, bar none!"

p51, I agree, at one time I just started to clean up and pitch in the trash items, saying to myself, what am I needing these for, Pops would of been ****ed off, but at the time I knew no better, pretty sad.
