Description
Wooden ticket rack from the passimeter ticket office at Queensbury Underground station. It has 36 compartments spreading over 4 rows. All rows are covered by removable wooden panels, which have labels indicating the type of tickets that the compartments used to hold and their price. There are currently no tickets in the ticket rack and the lettering in one of the labels is not visible anymore. The compartments in the bottom row are double in height compairing to the compartments in the other rows. A pair of cast iron eyelets are attached to the top right and left sides of the ticket rack. These connect with hooks inside the passimeter to secure the ticket rack in position. A small wooden case is screwed in the top right side of the ticket rack.
