Circa 1913 - Earlier style body on a 1913 frame. Note the inside door and the car is rubber-stamped THE IVES RAILWAY LINES above the door. Richard would insist that they didn't use litho roofs after 1912, but this one came with several other unusual cars and I prefer to believe this one as it sits, below is another example.

Circa 1914 (R2) - Same color as above, but outside sliding door. Stamped THE IVES R.R. to left of door runner. This car is known to come with boxcar doors, caboose doors and plain doors. Also note the different end stampings

Circa 1915 (R3) - painted body, T-trucks, rivet couplers. The example below is probably also 1915, but notice the litho door and the very odd slates that go from top to bottom.

Circa 1916 (R5) -  This car has T-Trucks and twist tab couplers.

Circa 1917 (R6) - Early type A, M-Style trucks.

Circa 1923 (R11a) - Orange litho

Circa 1923 (R11b) - Yellow litho
