The metal box attached to the bottom appears to be similar to what the MORTON MANUFACTURING COMPANY of Chicago used on the foot stools it sold to major railroads for decades prior to the AMTRAK era. Therefore, the stool in question could be an early MORTON stool since the "Q" shops more than likely lacked the manufacturig capacity and staff to meet the needs of its extensite passenger - commuter car fleet. Even if capasity was not an issue one would think it would have been far more cost effective to purchase from what would have been a non union company at the time instead of using its own costly union labor.
