Does  anyone know the MofW number that this car carried prior to being 
retired and  donated to IRM.  The reason I ask is because I am 95% certain that 
this  is the former Pullman Plan 3416 parlor car "Narcissus" which became 
N&W coach 785 (did it  actually get rebuilt as a coach like the other parlor 
cars?) and then rebuilt  in 1952 to MS1 mail storage car 1459.

Any help would be  appreciated!!!

    Any idea when IRM  received donation ?  It  might narrow the search. 
Some of the 1400's were
    still in revenue service in 1964.  E.g. on Dec. 17,  1964, N&W 1452 
(Baggage-Jax) rode 10th out
    behind SAL Engs 3034-3049 on No. 7 leaving Florence.  SC.  Harry Bundy
