need pictures of old Comiskey turnstile
 
Was wondering if any guys have closeup pictures of an authentic Comiskey Park turnstile either an actual one or photos back in the day. Can't seem to find any. I have seen people every once in a while selling them but you never know if they are from there or another park as the same company made them for numerous parks. thanks

I assume you're referring to the one for sale on a certain website? I can tell you the Comiskey turnstiles were BLUE when the park closed. I also don't ever recall seeing one with the Comiskey name on the side. Maybe the one for sale was an extra or portable one they occasionally used. Unless you have a nice photo match, I'd probably avoid it. I'm not saying it's fake, but I'd prefer a blue one.

Hi Mike, yes Im refering to the one on a certain website. I thought also the Comiskey decal on the side was a red flag but wasn't sure. I used to go to Sox games at old Comiskey when I was younger but never paid attention to something like that. I thought maybe they were green but sounds like blue was the color you were sure about. Thanks for the info.

I never paid attention to the color of the turnstiles either back in 1990, but I dug up some photos and they were 100 percent blue. The turnstiles also were each numbered.

just some added proof that they were blue. check at about 50 seconds into this video:
