    Description

    Worldwide brand Transit or Railroad Ticket Punch
    Submitted for your perusal, a Worldwide brand ticket punch. All I know for sure is that it works and punches a "spade" type hole with corresponding "chad". It was donated to us with some Union Pacific and Southern Pacific items. However, the punch is not marked for any railroad. I did an internet search and I couldn't find any references to "Worldwide" ticket punches. So I don't know if it was used on buses, light rail transit, streetcars, trolleys or a railroad. Perhaps it was used on a foreign transit system or railroad. I just don't know!
    Anyway, it's in acceptable condition. Some of the nickel plating is coming off and there is some rust. It works pretty good. No "hanging chads" here. See images for best physical description.
    This sale benefits the Covid Clobbered Pacific Railroad Museum operated by the Pacific Railroad Society a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
    After close of auction this item will ship on the following Wednesday. Thanx for looking!
