I recently purchased the vintage trolley pictured below from the estate train collection of the late Lewis K English who was the owner of Bowser Manufacturing. As pictured, it is pale yellow with TCA Paradise-Strasburg on the side and as the second photo shows, there are no markings whatsoever stamped or printed on the trolley's metal undercarriage/frame. Since this came from an estate sale, no box or literature accompanied it. Have you ever seen this trolley? Was it a limited edition made only for TCA members or for sale at the museum? Is it possibly a one-of-a kind painter's sample that was never mass marketed? Any information providing a time frame or specific year for this trolley is greatly appreciated.
