Ives 195 Vintage Standard Gauge Tinplate Caboose

Here is an Ives 195 Vintage Standard Gauge Tinplate Caboose. The caboose was one of Ives most delightful wide gauge cars and represented the virtues and dilemmas of built-up construction. The charm of the caboose was in large part the result of the intricate piece-work created Ives soldering technique. Some of the pieces added to the caboose body were window frame sills, tool box, cupola, smokestack assembly, end railings and brake wheel.
