Railway Luggage Racks.

With the number of supposedly old
luggage racks being offered on Ebay, not all are what they claim to be.
Nearly all the nice polished brass racks are reproduction racks and are
being listed as genuine racks. With the prices for these going up
around the $100 mark and more, you really need to ask the seller a few
questions.
The first question you should be asking is "Is the luggage rack a reproduction?"
The next question that should be asked is " Are there any numbers stamped on the back of the brackets?"

A genuine railway luggage should have
numbers stamped on the back of the brackets that go against the surface
they are fixed two. These numbers are the identifiers for what carriage
they are fitted to and the position number. As there have been a lot of
different numbers used on the carriage numbers, you could also end up
with a couple of numbers stamped in the bracket.
