This nice and seemingly genuine Cork, Bandon & South Coast Rly poster sold at O'Donovan's (Newcastle West) today for €180.00 - for nothing if the real deal: https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/8191c6612f862f237b43cfd9b7c3c715/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/a-wide-variety-of-antiques-and-collectibles-including-a-lot-37/

 

 

If I had a thing like that and it WAS genuine, I wouldn’t take less than €280, never mind €180.

Alternately, if not genuine - and it does look a bit “clean” - then someone’s been robbed!

There is a good quality scan of this poster on the internet. Buyers beware!

If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. Fair amount of car boot sale grade rubbish in that same auction.

It was definitely an item that needed close physical examination rather than relying on online photographs before bidding. Having just looked at the Didcot link https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/article.php/421/tuesday-treasures-august-2020 I suspect the poster is some sort of repro.
