    Label reads, "This Rail from the Area of San Francisco Earth Quake 1906." Is it real?

    Thank you Bob for your insight and knowledge. "1984" does fit the look of the label. Would love to see a pic of the fake gold rail if you ever find it :-)

    I purchased this at an antique shop in Omaha a few years back. It was created by Rail Inc. There's a registration number, REG 1826. If it happens to be authentic, then was it used for testing or simply a souvenir? I can't find another one online or any provenance. Any help is appreciated.
