Y6b builders plate info.

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for the info on the builders plates Ronald. I've heard about the problems the reproduction builders plates have caused over the years.
I'm only looking to have one made for myself and that's it. Is there any way to contact Dr. Blackstock? Just as a side note to this, if I'm successful in having a reproduction plate made of 2190 ( provided I can locate someone with the pattern drawings ) I fully intend to have "reproduction" engraved or raised on the back so it can never be passed as original. Looks like this Dr. Blackstock never really intended to list the ones he had made as reproductions. If there's anyone on this list that may have any leads as to who or where I can locate the pattern drawings or patterns for a Y6b builders plate, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Dan Bruner

I believe that the plates were made up by Dr. Blackstock many years ago.  I had begged him to mark them in a raised pad on the back as a reproduction.  He did not think that it would be a problem at the time, but it has caused some real problems with potential N&W builder's plate collectors.  The reproduction plates have turned up all over the place and people have purchased them because they thought they were originals.  It is too bad that they were ever produced.  I do not know who has the  pattern drawings or the original patterns, but they were out there at one time!!

  I just joined this message board today. Does anyone here happen to know who the individual is that has pattern drawings used to make the reproduction builders plates many years ago. I'd like to have a reproduction builders plate made for myself of the one for Y6b #2190. It would be a real help if I could find and contact the individual that has the drawings for the Y6b plate. Any info would be appreciated.  I'll need dates and builders no# for the 2190 if anyone has those also.


  Thanks for any help,

  Dan
