1. Penn Central police badge- #933 New Jersey patrolman. This badge has lugs
on the back for mounting to the officer's uniform. Good condition overall,

3. PC ADLAKE KERO lantern. Brand new- never fired. EXCELLENT, near mint
condition. Minor surface rust on 1 side of the handle (about 2 inches) Clear
globe. $70

4.   PC teaspoon. PC silverware doesn't come up too often, mainly because
they only ran long-distance passenger trains from 1968-71. The spoon is made
by
International Silver in the "Broadway" pattern. PC logo is on the handle,
embossed into the metal. Very good condition. $18


5. "Potluck PC"- I just got a new shipment of PC forms and envelopes, none
of which I have ever seen before. Included will be various interesting PC
forms, big & small, several interesting envelopes (NYC & PRR included as
well). Also 4 coasters (paper) from the Penn Central Mutual Benefits
Association & several public timetables.  Usually whatever I can find that's
interesting...$10

6. PC POST employee magazine- all in good condition. $2 each. I have the
following issues available:

1970- July/Aug, Oct, Dec.

7. PC Galvanized tin can. Ex- NYC style water can with pull-out wide mouth
lid. Oval shaped 8.5x 11.5 inches with a flat top, a large top handle, and
an angled spout. I spent YEARS looking for one of these for my collection
(there are lots of them marked NYC, but VERY FEW marked PC). This is a rare
can in good condition, except for the fact that the lid is missing. A lid
could easily be obtained from an NYC can however. $20 (if this had a lid, it
would be a $35-40 can).

8. PC elastic leg bands. Black with yellow PC name/logo & WORK SAFELY-
WATCH YOUR STEP on them. $6 for a pair.

general orders. $3


Now a few Conrail items:

11. Conrail travel alarm clock (quartz). Has CR name & logo, as well as the
letters "EDI" are on the front of this square vinyl clock with gold metal
corners. Tri-folds
flat for storage. An interesting piece- probably an award or promotion of
some type. Clock needs a new battery. $15

12. Orange Starlite 222 battery lantern. No railroad markings, but it has a
hand- lettered sticker on it that says "Amtrak/ Conrail 1980". Still has the
battery in it & still works (barely- I think the battery is about dead). $4

13. CR Safety Rules- Blue cover w/ white lettering. These are for MOW &
Structures Employes. 2 Different styles (1 is from 1976 & the other is from
1978) $4 for the pair.
