Station totems still a popular choice
THE appeal of what was once the humble BR station totem sign continues unabated.
The recent sale included the second half of a major collection of Scottish Region examples (highest price Tayport £1400), while other regions’ top prices fell to BR (M) Darwen £2000; BR (E) Wroxham £1100, with top price of the weekend falling to BR (W) Machynlleth at £4000.
Totem signs therefore remain a popular choice for collectors, whether they are collecting whole area examples from their youth or just want a nostalgic reminder from their local station.
