Richard,

Well, at least one of them got the large Erie diamond - here's a shot of 38376 from Dan Biernacki's collection. By this time I
think the likelyhood of many getting a large diamond were pretty slim. (note the large replacement patch panel running
longitudinally down the side) I somehow doubt many, if any, made it to EL.
