Hi Jason and all
That I know of there are at least 8 different postcards showing views
of Stockwell's find as well as 1 showing Steve Arnold's find. Most of
the 1000lb images show it setting on a table in the Big Well museum.
As you mentioned the images that show HO Stockwell are quite common
but the images that show it at the museum are somewhat harder to find.

On the top of this page are two different views. The first shows a
typical view of the 1000 pounder in the Big Well museum. The second
image is a much rarer card showing a sliced section of the meteorite
at the American Meteorite Museum in Winslow. I especially like this
one as it shows both the pallasitic portion and and iron(siderite)
portion. Interestingly the card does not mention any where on it what
specific meteorite it shows. I asked Carleton Moore about it and he
said for sure it was the Brenham meteorite as they still have the
piece at ASU.

Mike
