Hi all........I came across this Wagon in a box of stuff that my better half brought home from a table top sale. I think it’s early 1900s but no idea of manufacturer.... can anyone assist?
Thank you.

What gauge/scale is it?

[mahoganydog]

The couplings hint at it being Hornby O gauge and the fact it's LNWR would make it pre 1925 or there abouts.

It is O Gauge, I’ve checked Hornby as much as I can and no trace. Someone mentioned Carret (?) for Bassett Loake but again, no luck.

Think that's Hornby, Basset Lowke was rather more sophisticated. Any trace of a 'Meccano' label on the underside? Interesting that 'Mulliner' the famed coachbuilder is mentioned. The people to consult are Hornby Railways Collectors Association, HRCA. https://www.hrca.net/

Leeds Model co also made tinplate 0 gauge. It could be one of theirs.

Not sure if it's any help but I found this under the Darstaed brand as Mulliner was perviously mentioned.
