Cast iron Elkhart, Indiana New York Central station sign-authentic & great cond

Description: For purchase is a very well-cared for Elkhart, Indiana station sign from the New York Central Railroad era. This is an original from the station, not a repop … Please reference the photos of this icon, which was likely forged even before “The Great Steel Fleet” era on NYC's famous Water Level Route. Here are the details: It is cast iron with the mounting bracket forged on the back and is in excellent condition for its age. Zero rust or dents. Measurements are 27 3/4 inches wide, by 7 1/2 inches tall, and just under 7/16-of-an-inch thick (not including the bracket). The mounting bracket at its base is about 4-1/8 inch tall by 1-1/16 inch wide, by 1-1/4 inch deep. The bracket holes are solid - this sign can be mounted for viewing enjoyment. Total weight is 17.5 pounds. The sign received new paint at some point in its life after being pulled from service. There is no rust. The gold paint is true to New York Central’s original lettering standards and was applied very carefully. (You may notice a few places in the photos where the gold paint is not arrow-straight, but keep in mind, these signs were originally hand-painted by NYC shop forces!) It is a beautiful example of NYC System history. While we do not have details on when it was removed from service, and cannot say if the sign was displayed into the Penn Central or Conrail eras, it nonetheless is an excellent link to the historic Elkhart station, history, which hosted trains such as the Twentieth Century Limited, Lake Shore Limited, Pacemaker and others for much of the 20th century, and serves Amtrak's "Lake Shore" and Capital Limited passengers today. Shipping or pickup: There are two pickup options: If you purchase the sign and complete payment in time, it can be picked up at the Crossroads of America Railroadiana Show in Indianapolis on Saturday, October 26. You MUST reach out ahead of time, however, to schedule a time to meet at the show. The other pick-up option is to contact us and we will schedule a mutually-acceptable time to meet in a safe, public place within 30 miles of downtown Indianapolis. This maximum distance is absolutely firm. For shipping: Buyer pays actual shipping and insurance cost, and not a cent more, plus $10 for a heavy-duty shipping box, supplies and handling. The Elkhart sign will be very carefully packaged and shipped via the most affordable option with tracking to your location. Sorry, no returns, but we are more than happy to answer all questions. Buy with confidence! We have been on eBay over 25 years and maintain 100 percent customer satisfaction. Thank you for bidding, and best of luck!
