I have been told that the C&NW plate you have marked as "Flambeau" is extremely rare. Only 200 or so, were made. I have seen one in poor condition at a train swap meet for $1700. The National RR museum in Green Bay has one in their collection. Take good care of it :-). Keep up the great work ! Joe Z

Hi Joe Thanks for your kind and informative comments about the Flambeau plate. Please stop by to view the new China display this next year. The crew is working hard and its a very professional display. I am sure you be impressed! Roger Kramer

Hi Joe, The CNW "Flanbeau" service plate will be one of the plates on display next season. We are focusing the china of the railroads that entered Chicago. We will have a section that will be just service plates that will cover all railroads. For example, besides the CNW we have the Missouri Pacific "State Flowers" and "State Capitols" plates. Also the MKT "Alamo" service plate. That is just the beginning. Keep an eye on the blog next month because we may have some very exciting news about the exhibit. See you next season.
