They have nickel journals on spring-embossed trucks, so likely made 1933-34, silver railing on observation. Observation has a minor ding 1 side, otherwise car bodies are VG+ under light dirt, all nice lettering, may clean to near EX. Roofs have more wear, minor corrosion spots, 1 car has more corrosion 1 side of roof. Wheels are clean, couplers have light corrosion.
