aclass007 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Do you deal in items like this, WRENNEIRE, or are they only for your personal collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Cheers Minister What are/were they used for? Like a clock card or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 I'm not even sure what I had in mind when I started this thread, Wrenn! Whatever it was, I have inadvertently deleted the text, then posted it. Yes, I should have gone to specsavers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 84C Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I checked the Wiki site,interesting, but what a surprise; a GWR pay check with my old number. When I got made up to a fireman my number became 157. At Banbury you asked for your pay check at the booking on clerks window then presented it to the pay clerk at another special window that was only used for paying out and your cash came in a small tin! How Victorian but rather pleasant counting your cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 There would have been thousands upon thousands of British pay checks, check ebay any day of the week, not so many Irish floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
