Your photo seems to indicate that the door is still hanging from a car. If this is so the whole kit and kaboodle may worth a lot more than you think.

Hello, I am with an architectural salvage company and we have come across 3 antique wooden boxcar doors. They are a darker red and say "Everywhere West" in white. (photo is attached).

These are the wooden-slat exterior sliding boxcar doors, and I am starting to think they came off of an XM28 model car. I believe the are similar to the era of this CB&Q 1920s boxcar photo here *the photo is also pasted into the email below for comparison).

Do you have any info on the era/age such wooden doors would have been used--with that slogan? I am trying to circa date the doors within a decade or so. Is that color what they called "Chinese Red?"

More importantly--do you have any clue to the value of such a thing? Or do you have any advice on resources where we could establish a value range for antique wooden boxcar doors?

Any help is appreciated as this is outside the scope of our expertise.

thanks,

Chris Presley
