Hello Folks,

A friend of mine recently acquired this wrought iron ticket window from his father-in-law's estate. He doesn't know anything about the history of the item or where his father-in-law acquired it. I was wondering if any railroad memorabilia experts recognize this style window as something that was used by the Santa Fe Railroad. Or is the ticket window for something else totally unrelated? It has no manufacturer markings of any kind and is quite large and very heavy. It measures approximately 34" tall and 29 1/2" wide. I've searched the internet for photos of old Santa Fe Railroad stations and can't find anything similar. Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance! :confused:

These would have been made on site to fit the window at hand, so even if there are others (likely), each one will be slightly different. Fabulous find, I would love to incorporate that into my house (or hobby room.....since my wife might want a say in it!)
