Bingo! It's the 68027 – 17. Did some pencil rubbing and a bit of wet paint rub-off to definitively get that zero.
I get that it was sent to Old Forge NY on April 10th 1922 to a Guy named Emmett or E.L. Marks.
After some Google work it turns out that good ol' Emmett was a really interesting guy.
He was a Mason with the North Woods Lodge No. 849 F. & A.M..
In 1878 he successfully hatched and planted the first lake trout ever reared and propagated In the Adirondack Mountains
He was Superintendent and built the the Fulton Chain Hatchery he Adirondacks N.Y. in 1889.
in 1907 he was listed as one of the Members of Brown's Tract Guides in the Central Adirondacks
In the 1910 Census he was 52 has wife was Dorothy S. (46), daughters Betsy K.(8) and Ada (3), and son James H. (10). The census also states that he is the proprietor of a "boat livery".
He was a "lifetime" member of the Old Forge Fire Department (25 years or more).
E. L. was also Justice of the peace for "WILMURT, HERKIMER COUNTY, NY"
In 1935 the state conservation department cited Emmet Marks as the "Godfather of Adirondack Fishermen".
He lived from 1856 to 1945.
Article from the RED BANK REGISTER, MAY 28,1936.
Emmett Marks, veteran pisciculturist and the first man to hatch and plant trout in Odironack mountair waters, celebrated his 82d birthday recently at Old Forge, New York. According to Mr. Marks he was born in 1854, "surrounded by fish," on a neck of land extending into •ake Ontario at Peninsula, New York. When 16 years old he became associated with Seth Green, dean of American fish cuituristo and originator of modern methodB of fish propagation at the Green's Caledonia, New York, hatchery. In 1876 Mr. Emmett journeyed to Old Forge, where he constructed a small hatch ery and hatched 200,000 trout, which he planted In Central Adirondack lakes. Since then he has planted and caught fish in virtually every !ik and stream In the central Adirondacks. In 1881, at the request of the Call fornla Fish commission, he selnei 450 adult striped bass from th Shrewsbury river at Red Bank an transported them across the cont nent, where they were Introduce Into the waters of San Francisco bay Despite extremely hot weather whil, the fish were being tranoported h> lost only 26 of the fish enroute.
I can't quite make out the hand writing on the build sheet. The questions I have regarding the build...
I see that the color is "Dark Green" What is annotated in the parentheses? (Oil in ????)
Is there any way to get a paint code for this color?
Thank you very much.
