I follow a few auction sites & came across this Today at an auction in Evesham in Worcestershire.
Bidding is up to £280 at the moment.

Don't think it's a wall plaque, Ian. It's off one of the steam engines they built and this was off Ex LNER Gresley N2 0-6-2T numbered 2675, 9581 and BR 69581. Allocated to 34A Kings Cross and withdrawn from there in December 1960 and scrapped.

I Thought it looked like a locomotive type sign. Still nice to seek local history still around.
