Yes I have, and I find them very interesting.

Thanks, I'm getting pretty good at finding budget-minded projects these days.

My favorites are the Chicago "Century of Progress" elongateds, with 112 different designs listed in "Yesterday's Elongateds" by Martin and Dow.  If you are interested in these, then that's the book to have. 

Many of the tourist stops and attractions of the early to mid 1900's have their own elongate designs.  I'm just starting the collection again (sold my old ones a few years back), so I have some toughies to find.
