Ives Original Black Diamond Cars 241-242-243 circa 1928
I recently bought a large collection. Many of the items came from the estate of Lee Hieronimus, TCA CM5-101, who had owned a Lionel Service Station since 1933 in nearby Oakland. He took old trains on trade-in. This collection had a lot of trains that I don't need. See my other auctions.
These rare cars present themselves very well. Under a Black light, their bodies show some paint touch-ups that are difficult to see with a naked eye.
In case you're not familiar with Ives/flyer transition passenger cars, the undersides of the roofs all show this sort of overspray. Cars have snake couplers and original Ives wiring. All lights work.
.In another auction, I'll have a rare 1928 Ives 1134 loco w tender. This is proper for these cars. 1928 1134 locos are much harder to find than 1929 or 1930 models.
Study the photos. If you have any questions please ask.
