A beautiful cast iron Keystone number plate from streamlined K4s "1120", with numerals cast in "Futura" font. This locomotive was built in 1917 at PRR's Juniata Shops in Altoona, PA, construction No. 3283, and sold for scrap in December, 1954. This unit was streamlined in 1940. Streamlining was removed in the early 1950s. The plate shows rust colored primer on the front, and old black paint on the back. There are traces of original PRR red and yellow paint here and there. Unsure how this plate was attached to the streamline shroud at the front of the locomotive, as there is no evidence of bolting or welding.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.
