This turnstile has the distinction of letting Met fans through the gate at both the Polo Grounds and Shea Stadium. Used at the tail end of the Amazin's 2-year run at the rickety old ballyard at the foot of Coogan's Bluff, it was then moved to Shea along with the the team for the '64 season. It had a long run until it was removed during a '90s renovation of the no-longer-young stadium. The turnstile is blue and silver and has very minor damage and rusting. All original and a great symbol of Met and Big Apple history
