My indulgence in Q collectibles consists of three stainless-steel
PZ-related items:

1. The common PZ-etched matchbox cover (welll, I have three...)
2. A stamped ashtray with etched PZ, backmarked "THE C H HANSON CO |
CHICAGO"
3. A Shotweld sample plaque with etched PZ, produced by the Budd company.

A scan of the last heads the PZ page on my website.

Other than those, I have a switchstand lock, a telegraph insulator and a
brick from the Ashland passenger platform, intended to display with my
layout whenever I actually build it...

But overall I agree with you, Gerald--my Q paper is specifically to supply
research material for layout building and operation.

Best regards,

Randy
