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

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.

Tim...Wow, you are the man!...great detective work..you actually nailed it...the exact one...Well anyway...I'm sure my dealer friend will find this very interesting...the price he told me he was considering paying for it was like over doulble the Leland's $2906.00...And I had no idea they go in the $2,000.00-$3,000.00 range...matter fact that's exactly why I offered to post it here...to see if it was real...which it appears to be...and to get a handle on the market value...which we have...thanks to you!

I will say this though...The king of turnstiles would have to be ones from Yankee Stadium...and although I suspect they are for the advanced collector...$2,906.00 could be a bargain...I speculate it could depend on how many are out there....Say you're an advanced Yankees collector....you've got everything...you gotta have the turnstile!...How heady would it be for everyone that comes to see your collection walks thru the turnstile?

Thanks again for your great detective work.
