Unusual item, never seen one before. Any idea on the date of manufacture?

No date on it at all Russ,
I spoke to the vendor, he knows very little
and assumes it dates from the steam era, and possibly
country western australia, but it is all conjecture.
Looks British to me, I would have thought
just turn of the century, it has tapes to print the tickets
if that is any hint.

Looks late 19th or early 20th century. So are you going to buy it and put it next to your stamps?

I wish Russ, :)
I have a gut feeling that the price is fair,
and would be a wise investment.
But no, I'll have to let it go to someone else.
