Fabulous early 1900s turnstile is the most desired winged armed version. Cast iron in original paint with gorgeous brass capped counter. Not working at the moment but that could be changed. From the celebrated uptown Manhattan stadium, the Polo Grounds this bore witness to the historic games of the NY Giants BBC, NY Giants football, NY Mets, NY Titans and more. This one was originally obtained from a retired New York City police officer with "inside reach" who also happened to be a dyed in the wool baseball collector. One of only handful known to exist, this matches perfectly with the others we have seen including the one at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. This can be picked or delivered from the Western United States.
