Welcome to The Railroad Commissary on-line railroad dining car china and other collectibles catalog.

            Railroad Dining Car China


We offer a collection of railroad collectables that have been carefully selected for authenticity.  Our interest is railroad relics - unless the
items actually came from a railway, we don't stock them (except, maybe in the "Bargain Basement").

All items are railroad marked (top, bottom or both), unless clearly stated.  Marked items are the best values in the long run.   We do,
however, consider patterns such as "Winged Streamliner", "Golden Rocket", or "Hill", which are often marked only with a recognizable logo,
to be top marked.

Overnight shipping (usually) available      Collections Bought        We Gift wrap (see bottom of page for details)


Don't forget to bookmark this page so you can return easily and often!  The stock is always changing.

The Golden Rocket was the planned "new" name for the Golden State, when that train was streamlined in about 1948.
When all was said and done, the Golden State kept its old name, but the dining china had already been ordered. This
pattern was apparently used on the streamlined Golden State, in the new "Fiesta"-themed dining cars, but never reordered.
This vintage advertisement depicting a dining car scene aboard the new Golden State clearly shows dessert about to be
served on brown-rimmed Golden Rocket plates.<::><::><::><::><::><::><::><::><::><::>

Our Customer Comments

Visa and M/C, as well as cchecks, money orders, Zelle and Paypal accepted.              payment mailing address

                                                                                                                     


Packing - We pack for success, not excuses.  We love old railroad china and relics as much as you do, so we would rather spend a bit more on packing materials (actually, we prefer to use clean recycled packing materials) than see a piece broken in transit.

Our success is collectors getting pieces they want, and only that.  Therefore, all sales are allowed a three day inspection period, within which time, unsatisfactory items may be returned for refund.

Sell / Trade - We are always buying (at wholesale prices) - from whole collections to single pieces. Or, perhaps you would like to suggest a trade?   If you think that you could suggest a trade, or other "deal," that would be mutually beneficial, we will be happy to hear you out.   Maybe you have a piece of train china that doesn't exactly fit with your collection, and we have a piece that does - maybe a deal could be found.   Please recall though, that this is a commercial enterprise, so we would find no advantage in a trade for pieces of equal value.

Appraisals - We get many requests for appraisals, and are happy to honor those request for $6.00 per item.  Our appraisal is what we think that a particular item ought sell for at "full retail" (although that depends on how you might market the item) - please feel free to write for further details.  For free, we will tell you what we would pay for an item, but please, only inquire if you might actually want to sell your item to us.  Our "free appraisal" is always the same - "an item is worth what you can get someone to pay you for it."

Sales Tax / Ca. only - Orders shipped to California addresses must pay applicable sales tax.

Gift Wrap - For an extra $8.00 per gift, we will gift wrap any item(s) and mail it directly to the recipient.  Nothing too fancy, but we will box the item(s) and tailor the wrap to the occasion (birthday, Christmas or other), with a "from / to" tag filled out as you specify.

Wants lists - We have railroad china - you want railroad china, but unfortunately, these are not always the same items.  If you would care to send us your "want list", we will store it and notify you (e-mail or phone, your choice) if we get that item in stock.  There is no obligation on your part - this is only a notification service and interest survey.  Send to: Wants lists

All items first come, first served - if you like it, you can own it.  No false-hope teaser prices, no bidding stress, no sniping - everything is "Buy It Now" priced.  Prices subject to change without notice.
