I usually discover things long after everyone else, but just on the outside chance that there are other that are as behind as myself, check this one.

Rob -

Thanks! It is a massive and comprehensive source. I caught on to it some time back, when ISO more details of the ages back,
PICKWICK products. The site seems to just keep growing, with more and more detail and infill of items about myriad builders...

Rob,

Better late than never!

You did hit one of the best research sources we have in this business!

They cover Fifth Avenue Coach from its inception in 1885 with dozens of unbelievable photos and illustrations - it's a must see at;

That is like an entire book on Fifth Avenue Coach....I just read a few opening paragraphs and I had to shake my head and smile...apparently there were 'NIMBY' obstructionists even back in 1885!

I just spent an hour reading it and I'm not even a New Yorker!
