Can anyone tell me the origin of these parts? They came in a bag marked 121 station. I get no results googling that # . I know it's not all here but someone may need it for parts, but I can't sell it without a name.

Looks like Ives glass dome station platform parts.
I think it's Ives, but I'm not sure. I've seen one before, though. It's a Station Platform. The roof was panels of glass - green tint and perhaps pebbled. Looks like all the important parts are there, and a base could be replicated from wood. Nice find. I'm sure someone here can ID it, and buy it too.
Ives pre-war double station glass dome. There were two stations, I believe one or both were Ives 116 stations and the glass dome rested on the platform of both stations. last time I saw one of those was in Ward Kimball's collection. They make repops but original parts are very hard to find. Pride lines offered the canopy with a single station some time ago. You can go to a stained glass supply and have glass cut for it.
Thank You, It also came with a reproduction post that kind of matches the originals and another bench that's damaged. Not my scale I do 3 rail O, it came with a collection I purchased. I will sell it to help offset the rest of my purchase.

Hard to tell if that stuff is original IVES or repro. To my knowledge every repro made used die cast cornices opposed to the original cast iron. A magnet should tell you. People have made replacement poles for decades as they are always missing. I would be interested in it either way, just for the poles!
