More Ancient SG track / "who made me?" - Terminal track

The other section of curved terminal-track from same lot... note irregular placement of nail holes in some ties...

Electrical connectors look the same as previous section: brass tabs with steel clamp, but ties are slightly different.

Make & vintage ?

Any thoughts?  Anyone ?

This one is new to me too, Fran.

Perhaps send the pics to the TCA for their "Who Done It?" series, answers are frequently found thereafter

Can't hurt to browse the Toy Train Track Museum. Lots of pictures and information there!

Thanks for the suggestions ! 

As for the "Toy Track Museum", I figured there had to be someone  out there in the world who "cares about old track"...

I wonder if the "terminals" are an aftermarket addition...

Hello all I've seen terminals like that on early Lionel track ..those are the clips to hold the early split pin track together .  Cheers Carey 

I figured if anyone would know, it would be you Carey or Robert Butler.

Hi Carey,

Thanks!  Not familiar with “early split-pin track”... got any pictures of such?

Any suggestions as to when my track might’ve been made, or when the “Lock-on” style terminal track came along?

I have three sections of Lionel? SG terminal track ( 2 straight, 1 curved ) with lock-on style fibre terminal boards, but clamped/soldered to the rails, and with binding posts and thumb-nuts...

?

Thanks,
