Topic: Main line railway sign

[Tigerchips]

I wonder if this belongs to Tynemouth Railway Station. 

I bought it from a second hand shop about 10 miles away.

It appears to me quite old. I have found other signs with the words 'main line' but they have all had the name of the station as well. So why this one hasn't got the name, i don't know.

It is almost certainly a sign from a signal box, so did not need to be cast to withstand weather. It would be used to identify the levers for points or signals.

Thanks, er, does that still make it collectable?

I would have thought so. Best to ask on a Railwayana or Model railways forum. Probably not wildly valuable without a company name.
