No. 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107 Tunnels    (Circa 1905-30)

IVES Tunnels - We can't tell you too much about the tunnels. They were all made out of Paper Mache and painted. IVES put no markings on them and listed them in different lenghts over the years. Basically there were four different tunnels. The No. 103 and 104 were the smaller ones and intended for 0 gauge equipment. The No. 105 and No. 106 tunnels were longer and higher and intended for 1 or wide gauge trains. Otherwise the pictures on this page will have to tell the story. 

The examples above and below are either No. 103 or 104 - probably dating from the somewhere between World War I and 1925.

This one we believe to be a No. 104 tunnel from around 1925/

Circa 1923-1928 - We know this tunnel is a No. 105 made somewhere in the mid 1920s as it was still in it's original box.
