Hi Folks,

The question still remains what is the code for



If it is not a K9 or a K11 what6 code is it. This is the first photo I have seen of this wagon. How many and what was the code and wagon numbers.

Regards

Al

I think the bigger question is what in the heck is "Waffled Hair Padding" and why would anyone put something on their head if it came from a factory that looked like that . .  . :?  :? :?

 :D :D :D :D  I thought the same thing when I first saw this!  I think before the advent of synthetic cushions, many cushions were made from animal harr and fiberorus material filler.

Waffle hair padding sound like a cushioning material made of hair to be installed in pillows or seat cushions (not on your head).   That company also makes sponge rubber cushions so that fits. I know, I'm probably being too serious.  :facepalm:

Waffle hair padding was something used prior to the advent of foam, since the dawn of the cotton gin. Most folks know it as "horse hair padding" it was used in furniture, textile mills (blankets, jackets), and more commonly car seats.
