The trade name "Murphy Roof" was applied to a variety of different types of roof over the years. This early example is an outside metal roof. I suspect the abbreviation "HAN." is for Hannibal, Mo., which had a CB&Q car shop that built cars, at least in the (mostly) wood car era. I don't know whether the car was built in 1910 or whether the roof was a retrofit. Perhaps someone familiar with CB&Q cars can provide further history. Jack Mullen |
