RAILROAD CONDUCTOR
Ticket Punch 1900\'s
~ITEM DESCRIPTION~ Here is a piece of railroad memorabilia, a Conductor\'s ticket punch complete with leather holster, made by the M.C. Mieth Co. of Port Orange, FL.- xxxx
This is a very heavy-duty 5-3/4\" punch, weighing 9 full ounces! The manufacturer\'s name and location is stamped on the side, though faintly. Florida is abbreviated \"FLA\" so that means this punch predates the early 1960s and the introduction of 2-letter state abbreviations and zip codes. I have no idea of what model number it is or whether the fine leather belt holster came with it or was a later add-on. It came from an estate sale of many railroad collectibles.
Email with any questions or if you need more details. If you win one of my sales and want contact me through to just ask a question, be careful you do not accidentally open a \"complaint case\"- choices are not clear.
~CONDITION~ Fine. Shows some wear and use. Plating is all intact. Easily punches a sort of \"H\"- shaped hole in the ticket. The leather holster had an old wide rubber band around it which had stuck to the leather- I did not clean the slight marks from this which are on the protruding parts of the front and back sides. Can still be used to punch tickets for your fancy event!
~PAYMENT, SHIPPING, PACKING MATERIALS~ As you probably know, the wise rulers of have recently decreed that payment via their own company, PayPal, must be made available for ALL items sold on . PayPal will be happy to accept your credit cards and echecks. I am not allowed to list other acceptable methods of payment, but recent info on the site says that if a buyer emails me wanting to pay using a method other than PayPal, (and that method is acceptable to me) they may use that method .
Shipping in the USA:The US Postal Service raised prices again in January 2014 for most classes of mail though some priority services did not increase. The current postage cost from Northern Indiana to your door will be displayed near the top of this sale page.
Foreign Shipping- Most packages under 4 pounds (about 1700 grams) are best shipped First Class International, the cheapest possible service. However, the prices on all foreign shipping using FCI have increased enormously to all countries in 2013, and Canada had an additional increase in 2014. In most cases prices are DOUBLE what they were- plus the 10% \"tax\" now charges on shipping costs. International Priority, Flat-rate box and envelope prices also had huge increases.
I ship next business day.Try not to be shocked by the prices- sellers are not trying to make money on postage, just need to cover their USPS costs plus cost of packaging materials.Cost also has to include the new 10% postage & handling \"tax\"recentlyimposed by onmy total shipping cost.
- I hate reserves, and bet you do too.
