Does anyone know what these looked like? I am already aware that the plates are in the shape of an oblong diamond. I can't find any reference to what was cast into the plate and how it was worded. If anyone has the reprint of the Grant Locomotive Catalog that Ferrell put out would you mind looking to see if there is an illustration of the builder plate and number plates. If anyone has a good close-up photo of the front of Grant-built locos from 1870-1910 please look also.
Thanks,
