Summary

[edit]
Description Budd Company photo of the medallion attached to the observation car of the Mark Twain Zephyr. The observation car had the medallion and a facsimile signature of Mark Twain at the back.
Date The uncropped copy shows a date in lower right which is hard to read. It's either 8-20 or 8-30 in 1935. The train went into service in October 1935; the photo was taken while it was still at the Budd Company plant in Philadelphia.

  • Since I couldn't view the backs of the photos to look for copyright marks, a search was done for renewals in the artwork category, where photos are listed, for the years 1962 and 1963. There were no listings for the Edward Budd Company, Budd Company or any variations. There were also no listings for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad or any variations (Burlington) of it. The Burlington was the owner of the train built by Budd.
  • There was a further search done regarding the plaque or medallion. Since the creator is not known, a first search was done in artwork for copyrights for "Mark Twain" in 1935. The results were not conclusive, so a renewal search was done in artwork for the years 1962 and 1963 for "Mark Twain". There were no results.
  • While I believe the photos were never copyrighted, I have chosen to license this as copyright not renewed to be certain of a correct license.
