Always good discussions on the Railroadiana List mailing list - this time on the topic of online auctions where the seller doesn't really even have the item being advertised.
Matt Hanne observed that one tactic to use with a seller of unknown trustworthiness is to request a new photo of the item with a recent-dated newspaper in the picture to show it actually exists.
It's buyer beware - there is a rash of "antique railroad china" which consists of old plates with newly applied decals, and possibly new overglaze. Consult the reference books to make sure the items may be genuine (and HINT HINT the B&O never served Boston MA ;-)

Log in and leave your comments on the identity of this photo and its origin (I pulled it from a more-or-less spam email that circulated January 2012 without attribution or description.) This too looks like a museum display.
