This was on ebay recently and was described as being Mersey Railway , Port Sunlight . But I really cant imagine that it is ... why would it have a King Crown and why would PSL stand for Port Sunlight , when Sunlight is one word ? Any help appreciated , thanks.

My guess would be Personal Service League, a charity founded in the 1930s. Lots about the charity on Google. Queen Mary was the Leagues's patroness which might explain the MR (Mary Regina) at the top of the badge.

thank you all very much ... that seems to be the answer ... it was just bugging me , I couldnt fathom how they had come to the 'railway' conclusion . Much appreciated all of you .
