PUNCHBOARD TICKET
PAPER - $35
This rare item is an uncut sheet of punchboard tickets.
The sheet has been folded in the picture to show both
the front, with the ticket #s, and the back, with the
serial #s. The sheet has 160 tickets in columns of
16 on it. In production, the sheets were cut height
wise into strips, and run through the crimper, which
puts the pleat or accordion fold into the tickets.
The pleated strips were called "straws",
and were inserted into stacks of boards (16 high with
this sheet). When all the holes of the stacked boards
were filled, the tickets were cut by a band saw, & the
top & bottom layers of the punchboard were attached.
If you look closely at the picture you can see different
serial #s height wise, but they are the same #s lengthwise.
The sheet measures 10 1/8 x 17 inches, and is slightly
wrinkled, but would frame up nicely.
