On the hunt for Metro-Cammell pins

AS is well known, Metro-Cammell was mainly involved with the railway industry from its beginnings in 1845, when a new factory opened in Saltley, Birmingham.

In 1932 it formed a joint sales company with Weymann’s of Addlestone to build bus bodies on steel frames. This move led to a very successful partnership, lasting over 50 years.

As a final step, Metro- CammellWeymann ( MCW) moved into building its own complete buses, called ‘Metrobuses’, in 1977. Several thousand of these were sold.

I am seeking to purchase a metal, lapel/buttonhole badge for either Metro-Cammell or MCW to complete a collection.

These badges exist and examples are known, but none have come onto the market, or on Ebay, for the last few years. If you have one, or know of one, please get in touch by email at ian@@ihmsl.com
