This item is a collectible Midland Railway crest plaque, featuring the company's coat of arms mounted on a wooden shield. It looks like a transfer rather than hand painted. The crest depicts elements from the arms of six cities served by the railway: Birmingham, Derby, Bristol, Leicester, Lincoln, and Leeds. The Midland Railway operated in the United Kingdom from 1844 until it was absorbed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1922. Dimensions 4.5 x 4 ins and about 3/4 ins thick Thank you for looking
