FANDOR - Tinplate Timber Wagon

  They did it both ways.  Indeed, you can find litho cars with "Fandor" in the litho and the "Fandor" stamp in the car base.

Thank you Robert. Just to be clear - this was the same TINPLATE TENDER WAGON. I imagine they must have STAMPED them for a few years and then PRINTED them for a few years. I'm not sure why you would do this, but any idea on which version is older - the stamped or the printed? Any idea where I could look this up? Thank you very much for the reply.

  To the best of my knowledge stamping is earlier.  I don't have any information about changing from stamping to printing. As for information about Fandor particularly exported to the U.S. there is very little available.  The most recent issue of the TCA quarterly has an article on Fandor cast iron and makes mention of a couple of earlier articles on Fandor (early as in decades past).  The only other source I know of is bits and pieces of information in the Hertz books.
