The ‘1938 stock’ underground trains shown below were first equipped with brass-ended, double-sided enamelled steel destination signs which fitted in slots behind the lower front window. The numbers 1-0 came on three sets of rings and again any one number could be shown per slot. The original signs, pictured with the arrow  [of which I have a few available as shown, and some of the numbers] were expensive to replace and self-adhesive overlays came about. I have those shown in the images below. These overlays are approx 21 x 4”. Having been stored in warm tunnels for years some bear a very little sticky glue residue on their faces. With care and patience it will come off. Those shown on the image are a cross section that have not been cleaned in any way. £39 each inc worldwide delivery. Far more versatile modern dot-matrix signs have made these lovely old signs completely obsolete.
