He purchased some of the remaining collection The Merrilees collection consists of 895 designs of transfers and 5803 individual decals, in their original paper form, including examples of letters, numbers and ornaments, as well as coats of arms, trade marks, monograms and other images used mostly on railway stock in Great Britain, Canada, and on colonial railways worldwide.
