The badge is the last issue for this grade, from the mid-1980s, and is made of gold-finished metal with blue and white enamel inlays. In very good, lightly-used condition. The hat (size 57/7 1/2) is the correct type for this senior grade and has the traditional strip of cloth on the peak. Hat is in used condition. [2]
London Transport 1940s/50s enamel BUS STOP FLAG, the compulsory version. A double-sided flag consisting of two enamel plates in a painted bronze frame, complete with original fixing rods and locational reference plate '10760'. A fine example of the traditional London bus stop with minor blemishes only. [1]
London Transport enamel BUS STOP FLAG 'Request Stop'. A double-sided, hollow sign of the 'boat' style in the short-lived early 1990s style. Carries the location ref 19965 and the E-stickers show it would have been located in Kingston. An E3-size flag measuring 18" x 20.5" (46cm x 52cm). In excellent condition. [1]
London Transport CAP BADGE "TOUR GUIDE" issued in the mid-1960s onwards to those bus inspectors who qualified as guides on the sightseeing buses and coaches of the Tours and Charters Department. Badge is chromed metal with enamel inlays and raised infills. In very good, lightly used condition with a very small enamel chip in the top circle. [1]
London Transport enamel BULLSEYE SIGN 'London Transport'. Single-sided, measures 19" (48cm) across the bar, 14" (35cm) high. A most interesting and unusual item, possibly from a bus station but could also be ex-Underground station or LT offices. Small losses at the edges have been well repaired, leaving the sign in a very presentable condition. [1]
London Transport ENAMEL PLATE 'Building Dept' measuring 4.25" x 3.25" (11cm x 8cm) and thought to have been on a door at an Underground station or bus garage. The style of the bullseye logo suggests a date of late 1930s to late 1940s. Some enamel loss at top right corner, otherwise very good with an excellent shine. [1]
London Transport bus stop enamel E-PLATE for route 106 'Tottenham Garage'. Dates from the 1971-81 period when the route had an allocation of Tottenham garage Routemasters and the plate would have been located on the extra section to the garage off the main line of the route. In very good, ex-stop condition. [1]
London Transport CAP BADGES comprising Central Buses Conductor Instructor (1st issue, 1950s, Firmin) in very good condition, Tram & Trolleybus driver/conductor (1st issue, 1930s, Gaunt) in very good condition and a small LAPEL BADGE believed to have been worn by staff in the Travel Information Offices in the 1950s/60s (slight enamel loss in the top circle). [3]
London Transport enamel bus stop E-PLATE for route 451 operated by Tillingbourne. This operator, formerly known as Tillingbourne Valley, operated local services in the Guildford area of Surrey from 1924-2001 and was well known for its use of former LT Guy Special single-deckers. We believe that the 451 number was used for both a Guildford local route as well as the Horsham service. Unusually, the lettering is black rather than green. In good, ex-stop condition. [1]
London Underground 1950s/60s enamel PLATFORM FRIEZE PLATE 'Euston' from one of the Northern Line platforms at that station. Unusually, it has brown edges rather than the correct black. It is not clear why this is the case but the Bakerloo line has never served Euston! A few edge-chips but generally in good condition. [1]
London Underground Standard (1920s) Tube Stock enamel DESTINATION PLATE for Rayners Lane & Uxbridge on the Piccadilly Line although it's possible these were also used on the O/P-class cars on the Metropolitan Line service to Uxbridge. Double-sided, reversable. In good, ex-use condition with the usual chips around the chain-holes. [1]
London Transport Military Band CAP BADGE of the second type, worn from c1949 until the band broke up c1969/70. The band paraded in the Lord Mayor's Show and at the Remembrance Day ceremonies as well as performing at staff and public functions. The badge is made of a brass raised element incorporating a lyre motif, backed by an LT bullseye finished in red and white enamel. In good, lightly-used condition. Very rarely seen at auction. [1] See Lot 121 for the earlier badge.
London Country bus stop enamel Q-PLATES comprising 'Superbus' and 'Superbus 2, St Nicholas'. Dating from 1971 and 1972 respectively, these routes were pioneer high-intensity services in Stevenage operated by flat-fare buses in striking yellow and blue colours. By the mid-1970s, Superbus had been replaced by 'SB' numbered services. These unusual survivors are in ex-stop condition. [2]
1930s London Underground ENAMEL STATION SIGN 'Way Out and to Piccadilly Line Platforms 3, 4 & 5'. Believed to be from Holborn station and to date from the 1933 opening of the Central Line platforms. Platform 5 was for the Aldwych branch. The 3-flighted arrow, piercing the bullseye, supports this dating. The sign comes with its original bronze frame and is in very good condition. 54" x 9" (138cm x 23cm). [Sign + frame]]
London "General" Omnibus Co CAP BADGE in maroon enamel. It is thought that these much less common maroon versions may have been issued to crews in the 1920s on the General's private hire and excursion services but this is unconfirmed. In very good condition. [1] See adjacent lots for the rest of the set of these badges issued by the Underground Group road services.
London Underground enamel STATION BULLSEYE SIGN for Wembley Park on the Metropolitan and Jubilee (formerly Bakerloo) lines. Thought to date from the late-1940s when part of the station was re-furbished for the 1948 Olympic Games and probably replaced when further refurbishment took place in the early 2000's in connection with the new Wembley Stadium. In 3 parts, no frame, some weathering suggests an outdoor platform location. 58" x 38" (148cm x 97cm). [3 pieces]
London Transport Underground sample CAP BADGE inscribed 'Train Operator' and intended for use by drivers of automatic trains on the new Victoria Line in the late 1960s. Made of chromed metal with enamel inlays and in the same style as contemporary drivers' badges, it is believed that this badge was rejected by staff and this type was never issued. In excellent condition. [1]
London Transport (London Country) coach stop enamel E-PLATES for Green Line route 715A 'Saturday Kingston Hertford' and 'Saturday Ripley Guildford'. A pair representing the northbound and southbound directions of this route and which would have been located in or around Cobham between 1971 and 1977. In good, ex-stop condition. [2]
London Transport bus stop enamel Q-PLATE 'Forward limit of stand, Monday to Friday before 16.00, all day Saturdays and Sundays'. Location unknown but a very unusual wording, likely to be one of a unique pair. A double-size (G6) q-plate in very good, ex-stop condition, small chips at bottom edge have been touched in. [1]
London Transport 1960s Senior Tour Guide's CAP BADGE with gold finish and raised infills as issued to the senior inspectors who qualified as guides on the sightseeing bus tours operated by the Tours & Charters Dept and who supervised the 'basic-level' guides. There were usually only a couple of senior guides at any one time and this is therefore an uncommon badge. A small chip to the enamel in the upper circle and slight distortion to the base. [1]
London Transport bus stop enamel E-PLATE for route 80A 'Sunday beyond Belmont' in red lettering on a white background. Likely to date from 1976 onwards when the route became Sundays only but the reason for the unusual wording is unclear as all journeys went beyond Belmont! It may have been located in Sutton and have related to the revised routing to Banstead etc after the withdrawal of the 164A in 1979. In good, ex-stop condition. [1]
1930s London Transport TRAMWAY STATION SIGN 'HOLBORN' from one of two stations in the Kingsway Subway. Opened in 1906, closed in 1952 when the trams were replaced by buses, the subway connected the northern and southern tramway networks. Signs were placed at upper and lower deck levels and were made of hardboard rather than enamel, given the limited life of the subway by then. 38" x 30" (96cm x 75cm). Some loss around screw-holes when removed. [1]
Enamel BUS STOP FLAG 'General Buses stop here' in 1920s 'tombstone' style. A high-quality, authentic replica made to original standards with correct lettering and colours, production date unknown but thought to be 1970s/80s. Measures 17.5" x 23.5" (44cm x 60cm). Very minor edge corrosion in places but otherwise very good. [1]
London Transport bus stop enamel E-PLATE for route 333 to Bengeo, Chapmore End. This Hertford local service was operated in the 1950s/60s, at the time this plate would have been in situ, by the much-loved GS-type Guy single-deckers. The plate is likely to have been situated at Hertford bus station and to have been one of just a pair in existence. Minor weathering but in good overall condition. [1]
London Transport bus stop enamel E-PLATE for the 'Interstation Night Bus' in white lettering on a black background. This unusual plate will have been located at one of the main-line stations served by this circular route from Waterloo which ran from the 1930s to the 1980s. In very good, ex-stop condition. [1]
London Transport 'DOLLY STOP', a temporary bus stop used for diversions, emergencies etc. This is the complete 'head' of the stop and consists of two back-to-back enamel plates inside a steel frame. It is the 'Compulsory' version and, apart from a few small chips to the enamel, is in very good, ex-use condition. [1]
'General' ENAMEL SIGN, thought to be a timetable/poster board header plate for LGOC buses though it has not been possible to substantiate this as no photographic records have been found. The style of lettering suggests at least pre-1920 and our estimated date is c1910. Measures 30" (76cm) across, black & white enamel with some distortion and loss & corrosion in places, mainly at the screw-holes. Not seen at auction before. [1]
London Underground enamel roundel STATION SIGN 'WATERLOO'. A modern "silhouette" roundel in an integral alloy frame and made for the Jubilee Line platforms. Measures 48" x 39" (122cm x 99cm) and weighs approx 28kg. In very good condition although it would have been rejected as a 'second' and must have a minor blemish somewhere but this is hard to find. [1]
1930s London Transport TRAMWAY STATION SIGN 'ALDWYCH' from one of two stations in the Kingsway Subway. Opened in 1906, closed in 1952 when the trams were replaced by buses, the subway connected the northern and southern tramway networks. Signs were placed at upper and lower deck levels and were made of hardboard rather than enamel, given the limited life of the subway by then. 38" x 30" (96cm x 75cm). Some loss around screw-holes when removed. [1]
