Lot Essay

The invoice, from C.McQuinn, 4 Queen's Buildings, Icknield Street East, Birmingham, shows that the #4-4-0d price was to be paid in instalments, the last due on November 30 1879. A scrap from a magazine gives McQuinn's factory address - Neptune Works, 196 Icknield Street. The instruction book is dilapidated but textually virtually complete.
