Geoges or Gedges Draw Bar Railway Coupling and Flange Gauge Set from 1923  LNER/LMS Big 4 era. On acquiring these in the 1970’s I was told they were made as part of the chaps apprenticeship. I was told that they were used for measuring the safe min/max thickness/opening of the wagon coupling link  and the wheel flanges of wagons by the retired railway man who I know worked for LNER.  The flange thickness Gauge has ’12-45′ stamped on it  so unsure if this a measurement or a date. The other item is stamped ‘Type Profile  SD 12 Ton Wag DG 10266   1923’. Condition is Used with some surface rust which may polish out. See photos for you own assumption of condition. The original bag is also provided but is a bit manky. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class Large Letter.
