Hi folks!! I was wondering if anyone could possibly help/guide in the right direction with this Nameplate that I have had for years. I've got a little baby on the way, and just need to free up space and free up some extra cash. Would anyone know if this is possibly worth anything? See attachment Post has attachments.

As a starter for 10, it is a makers' plate rather than a nameplate. From the date on it, if it came from a UK locomotive it is probably from a BR Class 21 locomotive (more information here - subject to the usual Wikipedia caveats).

Looks like £200 is not an unreasonable guide http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xlocomotive+works+plate.TRS0&_nkw=locomotive+works+plate&_sacat=0 References to GEC make me wonder if it was an electric loco - the 84s were built by NB with GEC equipment, though they were first into service in early 1960; so depends on what the date represents.

Found this (not sharp enough though) http://wnxx.com/images/scrap/plog-content/thumbs/class-81-to-class-89/class-84/large/8535-84009-cab-e3044long-marston-230313-if-235.jpg Though the lack of a build number seems a bit odd, could it be from a piece of electrical equipment, rather than a loco?

I make it three lots of commission to pay out once you get it sold!

Ok folks. Here's another one. Not a makers plate but again could use some help. Has four corners as if you could slot a ticket in and also has a pouch for perhaps bank notes? Post has attachments.
