bus tickets

loisand you will when you send me all those Greetings on Sept 9th :2funny:
 
Here are a few of my old bus and tram tickets; I have perhaps a hundred or so. I collected them over 50 years ago from the ventilation grids in the wall of Highgate Road Garage and from the used ticket bins on buses and trolley buses at Birds Scrap Yard in Stratford. Some are very old and some are pretty dirty, whilst others have been stuck with Sellotape when I collected them as a kid.
If there is sufficient interest I will post some more up on here.
Who is interested in having the whole lot I think they should go to a real enthusiast, a free gift or maybe a donation to this forum or some good cause.
Cheers,
Ted

Yes, the word was "MOOSE"
I think I remember being told the joiners were made by the Moose glue company, but I can't be sure now. (Nor do I know if Moose was just the company name, or what the glue was made from!)
