GNR Hotel Key Fob Kings Cross
Description
GNRGreat Northern Railway
GNR Hotel
Kings Cross, London.
N0. 42.
"Please Leave Key with the Hall Porter" at the top.
The size and weight of this fob would certainly encourage customers to leave it with the porter!
Approximate dimensions: length 12cm, width at top 2cm and at bottom 4.3cm, weight 50 grams.
Not sure which metal it is but it looks like lead.
The lettering would originally all have been black but this has largely been lost. The hole where it would have been attached to the key is no longer functional.
The fob does show the patina of age. Please see photos.
GNR operated from 1846 until the grouping in 1923.
Stylish GNR monogram.
The hotel was built in 1854 by the architect Lewis Cubitt. The impressive hotel was a stylish point of departure/arrival for the passengers on the new steam trains.
An interesting item from this company's Kings Cross Hotel.
