The wooden plaque has a neat, round hole where it had originally served another purpose and the wooden B has fine splits where it has been attached to the plaque with panel pins.

87.

Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Headlamp manufactured by Eli Griffiths, reputedly carried by the L&BR Locomotive LEW. Came from N. Devon along with the Bratton Fleming ¼ Mile Marker elsewhere in the auction. Photographic evidence is scant but a photograph taken in 1935 when LEW had received a re-paint does show the lamp quite clearly fitted. Three of the four 'wedge' shaped strengthening castings around the front lens can be seen in this photograph. Other photographs do not show this; indicating that this lamp was perhaps the spare known to have been carried on the loco. It is known that each of the L&BR locos carried different lamps so it would be quite possible that even the spares carried by each loco were different too. It is difficult to ascertain precise history but we are reasonably confident of the provenance.

88.

Poster, Q/R size, Caledonian, Callander & Oban Railway ' OBAN The Charing Cross Of The Highlands, Travel by Caledonian and Callander and Oban Railways - Excellent New Golf Courses '. In the book book by John Thomas entitled 'The Callander & Oban Railway', it says, " In 1909 the Caledonian made history by spending £1,667 19s 7d on a spectacular coloured poster advertising Oban as a holiday resort. The Callander & Oban Railways share of the cost was £450, which the Caledonian Railway agreed to accept in six, half yearly instalments of £75. The poster created countrywide interest, the Railway News commenting: Such a picture could only be purchased by some millionaire and would be hid from view in a private gallery. Yet such a scene is at this moment exhibited as a poster on boardings and we can well imagine many weary city toilers will mentally thank the Caledonian Railway Company for giving them the opportunity of feasting their tired eyes on this vivid reproduction of a lovely picture" Make no mistake, this is almost certainly unique and even the NRM does not have an example. Folds and some loss/damage but what a poster, a must for preservation.

102.

Poster, British Railways D/R "St Ives Cornwall. Glorious Sands, Ideal Bathing" Depicts a quite stunning image of a high ground view of the harbour, framed by quaint houses either side.
