Mystery point


Picked up for a couple of quid from a preserved railway, this point is an interesting mystery. Three-rail, and obviously hand-made, it could well be heading toward proper antique status. 

I'm wondering if the chairs are Bonds - but I think those tend to be chunkier. 


So, over to you. In the grand scheme of things, identifying the components isn't important, but it is a bit of fun. (All the pictures are clickable for a better look).

That point is some seriously impressive modelling if someone made it by hand. The chair work is a joy to look at.

Definitely handmade. And yes, a beauty.
