Description

This ticket case is from the Canadian Northern Railway (which became part of the Canadian National Railways company circa 1922). Over 100 years old, it is in remarkably good condition and includes the little metal hooks for holding longer tickets, the sheet metal chutes for pasteboard tickets, and the drawers for other negotiables. It measures 25 inches wide, 13.5 inches deep and 60 inches high, with a medium honey-coloured case and a very long roll front. It originally locked but I do not have the key. On the front is the maker's label and on the back, you can still see the grease pencil markings designating which station number the case was to go to. This is a unique, rare and very visually-impressive museum piece. I am downsizing and this needs to go, otherwise I would certainly be keeping it. I am willing to deliver this as far as Calgary or Kelowna before December 31st if you pay my mileage. Please do not ask me to get a shipping quote, as shipping from Revelstoke is difficult and expensive.
