RE: (erielack) 1883 BLE Card from NYLE&W Engineer

Although I am not interested in these particular items, I would just like to
add my two cents worth.  I don't know why anyone would be offended by this,
call it an "ad" if you like.  We all have an interest in Erie, E-L, & DL&W
heritage, or we wouldn't be here.  When an item that peaks my interest
becomes available, I sure would be glad if someone on the list made me aware
of it.  I think most of us are collectors of at least some railroad
memorabilia.  Anything that remotely ties to EL history should be welcome
here!

Subject:	(erielack) 1883 BLE Card from NYLE&W Engineer

I apologize to anyone who is offended by this "ad", but I think that others
on this list would be interested in this item.  It is an 1883 membership
card from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for C. L. Shafer, an
engineer on the New York, Lake Erie & Western (aka the Erie Railroad).  It
was issued in Hornellsville (now Hornell) NY and certified that Mr. Shafer
has three years experience as a locomotive engineer.

The URL for the item is:

In the same batch of items I also have an 1883 employees trip pass on the
NYLE&W for Mrs. Shafer, his wife.  I am leaning against selling it, but will
definitely add a scan of it to my web site for those that are interested.
