Carlton,


FYI, Here is the identical turnstile, as in THE same one, that was auctioned off with a winning bid of $1,875.

A vintage turnstile removed from Yankee Stadium during a mid-1970s renovation. Manufactured by Perey of New York, the turnstile is red but was likely originally green. There is a counter and Yankees sticker on the end. Not to be confused with the more modern turnstiles salvaged from the recent demolition of Yankee Stadium. 38 by 27 1/2 by 22 inches

Note the number "19" and the identical scuffing/loss of paint,etc.

The pic you posted looks like a poor quality cropped picture of the auction image!




And about halfway down on the following page is a pic of a similar turnstile from Yankee Stadium in Cooperstown.
