Luncheon menu card : British Railways, Eastern Region : British Transport Catering Services : c1960

            An insert menu card and wine list that would have been slipped into  the pocket of a larger folder and used on train restaurant cars on British Railways Eastern Region c1960. Catering services were provided, at the time, by another division of the British Transport Commission, British Transport Catering Services.

Many such menu cards were overprinted on a 'template' and many were produced by the Curwen Press in London. I think, given the decorative border to the luncheon menu, this may be by them.
