Historical Notes
Following the nationalisation of Britain's railways in 1948, the newly formed British Railways adopted the famous lion standing astride a spoked wheel emblem, often affectionately referred to by collectors as the "Lion on Wheel" crest.
Cap badges bearing this design were worn by a variety of railway personnel, including Station Masters, whose role was central to the safe and efficient operation of stations throughout the national rail network.
Railway uniform buttons and associated items such as writing accessories were essential tools of everyday railway service, making mixed groups such as this particularly appealing to collectors of Britain's transport heritage.
