Maffei was a manufacturer of railway locomotives based in Munich, Germany. Established in 1836, it prospered for nearly a century before going bankrupt in 1930 and becoming amalgamated with the firm of Krauss to form Krauss-Maffei. The Maffei mansion in Feldafing, by Lake Starnberg, today houses a museum and exhibitions. This solid brass locomotive builder’s plate belonged to a South African Railway operated locomotive manufactured in 1928, No. 5754. This is a rare find! Only 90 of these locomotives were ever manufactured. The builder’s plate collection comes from an 87 year old gentleman, and it’s been in his family for generations.
