Pullman Type A brass table lamp stamped on the side of the base TC248. The first-class Pullman parlour car to which this lamp (from 1948) belonged was originally bestowed the name Minerva and built by the Birmingham RC&W Co in late 1924. It was loaned almost immediately upon completion to the Wagons Lits Company in 1925 and numbered No.60 to run on Milan-Cannes Pullman services. During 1930, No.60 returned to the UK and was subsequently renamed Lady Dalziel and often allocated to the Golden Arrow. By 1948, it was remodelled as Car No.248 Third-class (second-class from 1956) until 1962 when it was converted back to first-class, and became Athene before withdrawal from service in September 1963. In good condition stands 20in tall.
