When my late father moved ,he was lobbing stuff out .. Always a bus & coach fanatic ,there was a keyring i was attracted to .. . Rosslyn Motors co .
"Hmmph , so you've never heard of Rosslyn Motor co ?"
" No dad.."
"Hmmphh" as he was a grumpy fucker..
Well i slipped it in me pocket anyway...
Just googling it ,the emblem is the same as the one on the Corgi AEC regal coach .
Not much else , so where , who were Rosslyn Motor co ? We lived in mid Kent , he was a Chatham(ite) from the Medway towns . Hazzard a guess it's probally 40's 50's 60's era
I pocketed a National Benzole mixture one too !

Re: Rosslyn Motors co
There is a Rosslyn Motor Co in Canning Town - might be the one. Website says they started in 1967.

Re: Rosslyn Motors co
Some operators ran quite old gear back then, though - the rear luggage boot on that Corgi has a Canning Town phone number...

Re: Rosslyn Motors co
I have a Passenger Transport directory for 1953/54 - no mention of Rosslyn in there but I think it's one of those directories you had to pay to be in....
