Two uncut rolls of tram tickets and a conductor’s pouch

Ends in40:16:16

The object

Paper tickets on their original rolls, uncut, in a box that held them loosely, with the leather pouch the holder’s father carried on the ring. The pouch has a snap, a slot for change, and a strap that is cracked where it was buckled every day for a decade. Nobody has counted the tickets and the holder will not.

Flaws disclosed by the holder

• The pouch strap is cracked along the buckle hole.

Where it came from

Brought home in 1979 by a conductor who had finished his last shift on the line and been told to leave the equipment; he kept it in a drawer for thirty-four years and never spoke about why.
