Here's #1173. Love to see its slightly younger sibling!

I'm sure Engine49guy will pop up with a few pix when or if he can get the pix out of PhotoBucket prison.
Among my pre-39s I have 1021, 1093, 1130 (with box), 1843 (the only pre-39 I have in the original box with all contents, complete with the green booklet) and a few more in the 2000 range (Highest SN is 2605) including a factory engraved.
To my knowledge, Rich Sopko (Cougar015) has the only other pre-39 factory engraved, I've ever seen. Likely (I surmise) Richard McMillan has a few too, as he is the oldest and longest years of collecting 39 variations. But, aside from those ... that's "it" for the factory engraved pre-39s. There aren't many of them.
1130 came with a very old 1975 letter that reads it shipped on November 8th 1955 (but does not say to where), just 3 days after the Flux Capacitor was invented ... LOL. I have a son that is 40 years old who loves Back to the Future. I promised him #1130 as it is the closest ship date I have to November 5, 1955.
