This is just one of three displays of old manufacturer plates that are located in the Elevator World Library. A few of the plates read: Salem Elevator –Salem, Virginia; F. Rosenberg Elevator Co. — Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Morse, Williams & Co. — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; H.J. Reedy & Co. — Cincinnati, Ohio; and Hollister-Whitney Co. Also mixed within the display are a few signal-fixture plates such as push-button plates and floor-position indicators. These items just add to the great memorabilia of a great industry!
I love this old stuff Brad! Just some additional information, the four circular name plates mounted in the corners of each board are C.J. Anderson & Company Car Switch inserts that were customized for each customer back in the 1910’s through the 1970’s.
A complete car switch casting cover plate from CJA sold recently for $995.00 over on ebay.
In other words we need to make sure the security alarm is working properly and possibly install bars on the windows of the library! That’s valuable merchandise!
