Description
For sale: Filigree, Narrow Vestibule Passenger Car PN#569AN
This item comes with 4 tops and 4 bottoms of the filigree; enough to do 2 observation ends of the Narrow Vestibule Passenger Car. In addition, we add in one additional top and bottom on which you can test/practice the stain or paint you want to do with the items.
It is occasionally difficult to find the specific filigree required to complete a car. In the case of the narrow vestibule car (link to original photo) that is the exact problem. Thus, we embarked on trying to fill a need for a specific request for this filigree.
The challenge was to find a very good view of the exact end of the car. The link above helped tremendously to finalize this pattern; however, we also found helpful the view from the Car Builder’s Dictionary from 1906.
This specific filigree is cut from acetate. We find that the acetate takes up a dye (something as simple as food coloring) with a very good outcome to get that used look of the times.
