Up for auction is a museum-grade piece of New Hampshire transit history: an ultra-rare, intact sequential run of 5 consecutive 1933 passenger transit tickets from the legendary independent Suncook Valley Railroad (famously known as "The Blueberry Express").


TICKET LOT DETAILS:

- Railroad Line: Suncook Valley Railroad

- Route: Continuous Passage between Epsom, N.H. and Blodgett, N.H.

- Officer Signature: G. S. Fowler, General Manager

- Ticket Numbers: 28268, 28269, 28270, 28271, and 28272 (Flawless 5-Ticket Consecutive Block)

- Ticket Form: 01732

- Chronological Backstamps (Epsom, NH): April 4, April 15, April 18, April 20, and April 25, 1933


WHY THIS LOT IS AN ELITE COLLECTOR'S PRIZE:

- Unheard-Of 5-Ticket Sequential Run: While single tickets from the independent Suncook Valley line are scarce, finding a fully intact run of five consecutive serial numbers that were preserved together is a near-impossible feat for ephemera specialists.

- Chronological Commuter History: The reverse station dater stamps reveal these tickets were used sequentially over a two-week span in April 1933, offering a remarkably vivid, rare historical window into daily localized transit at the absolute height of the Great Depression.

- Highly Desirable Heart & Spade Custom Punches: Every ticket in this run has been beautifully validated by the conductor on duty using custom playing-card shape hand-punches—alternating between clean heart and spade geometric cutouts across the face.


This is a premier, investment-grade lot for advanced New England railroadiana collectors, specialized New Hampshire local history archives, or top-tier independent shortline ephemera collections.


All five tickets are completely intact, crisp, and fully legible with bold black text on their original light orange/buff cardstock backings. Features highly distinct circular station dater stamps and crisp novelty conductor punches across the entire run.


Please check the pictures. Shipped quickly and carefully packaged.


Truly a remarkable opportunity to add a long sequential run of tickets from a short-lived railroad to any serious collection!
