ORER help

Bill,
First off, there were no ORER issues between July 1936, and July 1937. The ORER went to yearly July publication due to the depression in July 1932 after being published monthly before that date. The publication went to quarterly starting with the July 1937 issue. There were small monthly updates published in the interim. Somewhere in my seemingly endless files I have some of them, but after a move I can't seem to locate them. I'll renew my efforts to find them and report to you if I have one that has your needs. As for the need for a July 1940 ORER issue, that issue is part of the Kalmbach Memorial Library collection, and you could probably get the information from them directly. Issues in 1940, and early 1941 seem to be hard to find, at least in my circle of collectors. Al Westerfield has the Jan. 1940 issue, and the KML issue is the only other one I know about personally. Anyone out there with more? Trading some sections would be welcome. Rich Burg

I am trying to narrow down when two groups of Fruit Growers Express
steel rebuilds first appeared in the ORER. Here is what I know about each. FGEX 10850-10999 appeared by July 1937 and was not in the July 1936 ORER entry. If you have an ORER between these two dates, could you let me know whether or not this series is present? FGEX 52600-52999 appeared by October 1940 but was not present in the April 1940 edition. If you have access to the July 1940 Edition, can you tell me if this series is or is not present? I think this is a narrow enough question to request offline responses if you can help. Thanks for listening! Bill Welch 2225 Nursery Road; #20-104 Clearwater, FL 33764 727.470.9930 fgexbill@...

For now it sounds like my july 1937 entry is the authority for one question and I will write KML about the second. Bill Welch

I have the ORER's for May, 1934, and November, 1935: however, I have not found any issue from 1936 for sale. Also have April, 1940 and April, 1941 issues. A.T. Kott

But for most things I rely on the CSRM collection, which is largely complete from 1898 into the late 1960s.
