A Southern Railway circular brass SMOKEBOX ROUNDEL "SOUTHERN 1947". As carried by the Southern Railway 'Battle of Britain' class 4-6-2 21C167 "TANGMERE" built at Brighton in September 1947. It became S21C167, then 34067 in July 1949. Latterly a Stewarts Lane and Salisbury engine, it ended its days at Eastleigh from where it was withdrawn in November 1963. It went to Woodham of Barry in April 1965, then in January 1981 to the Mid Hants Railway for preservation. The plate is in ex-loco condition and 26 1/2" diameter. A rare opportunity as only one or two of these roundels are known to exist. The plate is presented with a fine photograph of the locomotive in 21C167 livery clearly showing this very roundel.
