Fake
TickersFake Stock Ticker shows up on Antiques Roadshow
Back in the Golden Age of Wall Street, stock brokers used tickers to receive instant quotes over the telegraph lines for buying and selling stocks. I am conducting a census of pre-1930 Ticker Tape Machines to find out how many were made, how many still exist, and to make a list of various manufactures. I am hoping that the end result will also help in cases of theft to track down a ticker, and prevent fraud on eBay when criminal types use pictures downloaded off the web.
If you are a collector, or just happen to have an old vintage stock ticker lying around, send me a picture and it's serial number and I'll add it to the list. I plan to put up tons of pictures in the coming months, so stay tuned.
