I have a manual date printer machine from my brother in law collection, that has a brass plate that reads (after much soaking in gasoline, alcohol and wire brushing):
PENN CENTRAL on top
Center rectangular opening for date wheels to pass through
CARPENTER PA on bottom
I tried googling Penn Central Carpenter different ways to see if it was a station an interlocking tower, or what.
Any Penn Central gurus here who can enlighten me?
Any $$ value to the date machine, or were they dime a dozen? Can provide pictures if interested
Thanks
