<p>A friendly Hallo to all!</p>
I'm in search on a prototype picture of a wooden Swift reefer around 1950 or a bit later. This picture is very close to this picture which I took with my new Swift reefer like this.
![[Image: swift-reefer_search.jpg]](http://us-modelsof1900.de/wp-content/gallery/1930er-modelle/swift-reefer_search.jpg)
The prototype car is an identical class like this Swift reefer, 36 ft, wood sheathed and with steel frame and is pictured standing in front of a ramp or icing platform with some industry in background. Btw. the car number of prototype is 4906 however the prototype picture is a b/w one, of course. The prototype car has also these four large hinges exactly as this model made from ATLAS. The only visible difference on the prototype is the existence of a brake man's stand at the long shaft of hand brake. This is missed here on the model.
I have seen this picture on an Ebay offer some times ago, unfortunately after ending of offer (and I have stored a small copy however I can't show it here or use in publicity). I know also that the seller of picture was Ted Culotta known from the Speedwitch Media however I did not receive an answer on my question, where I can understand his silentness. The searched picture is definitively not to found ba a Google search!
I next time I will add a short description on my website about rebuilding of this model and a second one and love to add prototype pictures and information additionally to my work. And now I would like to find the owner of this prototype picture for asking a cpoy of this picture and for permission of using it on my website. Therefore, the prototype picture is so importantly for me, because the Atlas model is a nearly 100 percent exact copy of this reefer on the picture. And this I would like to show in description on my website.
Maybe that the buyer of this picture is to find here under members in this forum? Or maybe that everyone knows the new owner of this picture?
I would be lucky to receive your hints and ideas how and where to find the owner and his picture. Thank you very much to all!
