I have a conductors uniform from the North Shore line. It was owned by Henry Schmaal and I think it dates to about 1917. Im looking for tip on who can restore it and how to keep it. Now it is put away in a suitcase.

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
I just had on online appraisel done and its worth A LOT more than I thought. I bought in 1980 for 20 bucks. Now it may be worth 5 grand.
Now I gotta find someone to repair and clean it.
Hi Randy, that sounds like a cool find. I have nothing of my grandpa's Frisco conductor uniform, except his coal oil lantern. My cousin has his watch, given to her dad, the only son. Mary Stahl
