This listing features a lot of two vintage paper transfer tickets from the Chicago Transit Authority. These transfers are specifically for the Ravenswood line, indicated by the prominent 'RAVENSWOOD' text and route map printed on each ticket. Each transfer includes a designated area to 'STAMP HERE' and is marked for the month of 'NOV' (November).
The detailed graphics on the transfers depict a route map with various stops and timings, common for public transit passes of the era. One transfer bears the serial number 516501, and the other is numbered 516505. Both transfers feature an important notice: 'TRANSFER NOT GOOD ON BUS AFTER USING RAPID TRANSIT UNLESS BUS IS STATIONED ON TRANSFER WHEN LEAVING STATION.' The reverse side of each ticket carries a 'WELCOME ABOARD!' message and a safety message: 'YOUR SAFETY IS OUR GREATEST CONCERN. Please waiting for a bus and you can help us keep you safe. Stand on the curb...' and 'THANK YOU! NOT IN THE STREET.' These items are ideal for collectors of railroadiana, transit memorabilia, or Chicago history.
