Two (2) RARE Collectable Allen Lane & Scott Railroad Conductor Ticket Punches

Description

My Grandfather used to work for the Pennsylvania Railroad on the long haul, over night sleeper / Observation car trains - I have seen the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona PA from the Engineers cab at least 20 times - never got old - even as a teenager.
We just ran across these two old ticket punches of his and thought that a true collector would have more interest in them then our small group of family left.
- Both in absolute perfect working order
- Both made by Allen Lane & Scott in Philadelphia PA, but on both pretty much only the Allen & Philadelphia PA stampings are clearly visable
- Both punchings are different - samples in pictures and w/ siloettes
- Both stamped R & R Rx. Co on one handle
- One is # 428
- Other is # 704
- Both overall length is 5"
- My grandfather used these between 1936 and 1964
That is about all we can see from the punches or know about their hiustory - but if you have any questions or need more pics - please drop me a line.
