I think 150 came in in the very early 90’sWhere are you that UPS had a 150 lb weight limit in the 70's and early 80's? I remember when the weight limit went from 50 lb to 70 lb and all the drivers having a cow about being over worked.
I got one ,Herman Marketing. Christmas 2000 my wife got it for me my first peak in feeders !!Opening gifts today and dad gets me this, partially as a gag. He picked it up from a vendor at a model train show in the original box.
According the the authenticity sticker on the box, it was given out to shareholders as a limited edition "gift" way back when and was produced by Hermann Marketing.
I'm curious how old it is. Any of the old-timers remember these? I'm guessing mid 80s but I wasn't sure.
He didPaging Rod. He posts like he worked when Jim Casey was in charge.

No pics, this was early 80's and I was still part-time. I think he was completely retired and being drove around by motor coach. @Old Man Jingles was there, I don't know if he took photos.Pics???
