Found this at a yard sale, paint looks original, turnstiles are copper and click when turned. The little ticket office lifts off. It may have had a figure inside at one time.

Looks like it was used at the entrance to an amusement park. The same setup is used today, the last time I went to one.

Pretty sure its from Europe Could check my Noel Barret Ward Kimbal book
I would appreciate that. The little building appears tin but the turnstiles are copper I believe, it seems to be a well built little piece but I have no idea what it’s from.
Great find I love it. More as a diecast item but it could go great with trains also but to me it looks a little big for O I would think but heck it would work but was thinking its more standard guage size from looking at it. whats the measurements any way
The base is 7 inches by 2 inches and the little ticket office is 4.5 inches tall.
okay it looked taller in the pic to me that would be just right for O guage and I still love your find good job
