Help With ID Of Some Perfins

Like most things out of my specific collecting area, I manage to accumulate things anyway. I've got around 100 perfins in stockcards. I've managed to id a few using some of the threads started here by others. But most I didn't find.

Here is the first card:


Some of these I might be able to "guess" at.

Last row #1 & 2 - NYC = New York Central (railway)?
Last row #4-6 - PRR = Pennsylvania Railroad?

Anyone?

I think you're right on the railroads.

The first row, stamps 2-5, with perfin "FNB", I believe are First National Bank of Boston.

The first pair of stamps on the second row is rather curious, as the perfin is in a different direction on each stamp. Nevertheless, the "BEC" perfin with the larger "E" in the center is Boston Edison Company.

Next to the last stamp on the second row "NSBK" is National Shawmut Bank (Boston, Mass.). See this previous thread posted on SCF:

wt1 - Thanks for the help. I was also curious about that pair as well.

I'm assuming all these Boston ones are fairly common?

I think you're right that the Boston ones are fairly common, especially from the banks, as they were used quite heavily. For instance, I have at least a half dozen examples of the FNB one.

Although the Boston Edison perfin may be a bit unusual based on it being put in a different orientation on two connected stamps, those are very common perfins. In fact, did you know the Boston Edison Company used these perfins into the 1990s? Checkout this previous link:
