Penn Central Carpenter Pa was ??

rrmanOGR Forum Member

I have a manual date printer machine from my brother in law collection, that has a brass plate that reads (after much soaking in gasoline, alcohol and wire brushing):

PENN CENTRAL on top

Center rectangular opening for date wheels to pass through

CARPENTER PA on bottom

I tried googling Penn Central Carpenter different ways to see if it was a station an interlocking tower, or what.

Any Penn Central gurus here who can enlighten me?

Any $$ value to the date machine, or were they dime a dozen? Can provide pictures if interested

Thanks

Thanks Tom. So it was located along the old Pennsy tracks that morphed into Conrail then folded into Septa as I see it.

I have (had? I have not seen it in years) a similar ticket dater with a plate that had GREYHOUND (LINES) and PERRYVILLE MD. I suspect that the airlines might have used them in the early years, too. Value is mostly in the brass plate. Note that the ribbon can be refurbished with a little bit of effort.
