Circa 1921-1922 - Most distinctive of 1921 cars. Red / Brown with silver rubber stamping also note the early 1 gauge couplers and brakewheel. Below is a similar car with gold rubber stamped lettering.

End view of early No. 190 Tank. Below is another early one with a different end stamping.

Another example of Ives using whatever they had left over. Here's a Wide Gauge car with the One gauge number on the left and the wide gauge number stamped on the right.

Circa 1922-1923 - Light tan with silver lettering. Below see side view of this variation.

Circa 1923-1925 - Orange with black rubber stamping with it's original box

Circa 1923 - Same color as the 0 gauge tank, but very rare to find in Wide Gauge.

Circa 1924 - Made for Canadian market through the Dominion Toy Company.

Circa 1924 - Specially painted and lettered for the Wanamaker Dept. Stores.

Circa 1925 - Later tank than above with trucks that have slots punched for journals, but no journals. Note the difference in the rubber stamping on the end.

Circa 1926-1927 - Yellow with black stamping, journal trucks, couplers held on by tubular rivet. See side views of this car below.

Circa 1927 - According to the Ives Newspaper in 1929 - this car was one of several made for a special dinner for kids. It carried soup to kids seated around a large table who only had to drop a semaphore on the track in front of them to get the 'soup car' to stop and fill up their bowel.  

Early 1928 this tank would not look unusual unless you look at the bottom (below) - the snake pulls on this car make it the rarest car pictured on this page.

Circa 1928-1929 - American Flyer body tank car numbered 20_190. Below is another example, but it has C & O lettering on one side.

Close up end view of 1929 tank car showing plates and trucks.

Above and below is an example of a Flyer bodied tank with deep blue trim highlights. The color would appear to be pure 'Flying Colonel' blue.

Circa 1929-30 - Late tank with Lionel body. Normally this car didn't come with a decal like the one above. This tank was supposedly made for The Michael Hoffman Fuel Company in Bridgeport Ct. I've seen two of these that have survived.

Variation? - the two small domes at each end have been painted on this one.
