I recently bought a collection that has two tin plate parts (roofs) that I'm not quite sure what they are from.  I believe the first two pictures show a roof for a Marx Happi Time Chicken Coop (AF tender shown for size reference).   I would appreciate confirmation on this.

The third picture is of a roof from something that I can't identify.  I've done a bunch of image searches of Lionel and American Flyer prewar tin plate buildings but nothing seems to show this roof.  There were only these roofs and no buildings.  Odd what shows up some times.  Any help is appreciated.

Hi Joe,

Thank you.  I'm not sure why I couldn't find that in my image searches.  The 437 doesn't appear to be overly rare and it looks like Lionel and MTH made repros.  I even found an unpainted MTH roof for sale on the bay. 

I'll bring this along to York and hopefully someone will need an original.  When I find lonely parts like this, I always wonder what happened to the rest of the item.
