A GWR brass TENDERPLATE engraved Great Weste...
A GWR brass TENDERPLATE engraved "Great Western Railway Company 1852 Swindon Works June 1912" and stamped "3500 Gallons". As carried by the standard Churchward tender built under Lot A85 (one of 649) to carry 7 tons of coal. 1852 was built for 'Star' class locomotives and was initially attached to "King Henry", she later travelled behind "Queen Berengaria"; "Peveril of the Peak"; County Clare"; "County of Middlesex" (3800); "Dutch Monarch"; "Caerphilly Castle"; "Queen Philippa"; "Saint Catherine"; "Morning Star"; "Lord Palmer"; "Saint Dunstan" and "Freshford Manor". She was sold as scrap to Thomas W Ward Ltd of Sheffield on 8th April 1960. Oval, 11 1/4"x8 1/4", face-polished only. Lots of knocks as one would expect. Rather special, I think you would agree.
