On offer is a very rare R F Stedman & Co Ltd coach. Mostly made of wood with the original applied paper lithography covering all four of the sides, these models really don't turn up often. From the details about this company that I can find, R F Stedman & Co Ltd would only have been making this type of LMS coach for just a short period of time - sometime between 1928 & 1931. The fact that it's an R F Stedman made item, with that all important and very rare R F Stedman & Co Ltd makers mark (see photo 2) is what makes this item so rare and desirable to those collectors of Rex Stedman made models from that very important part of his history. Quite a nice display item..

Condition: Barring a couple of scratches and 2 very small tears to the lithographed paper (see photos 1 & 9) commensurate with age, the lithographed glossed paper is in good condition. There are 3 missing buffers and some oxidation to one of the bogies. The tinplate paintwork for the roof is in good condition, as is the wooden frame the coach is made from. All original, as found and hasn't been tinkered with. Some History about the company.
