Miscellaneous Transport Collectibles
My main interest has always been Glasgow Corporation Transport and it's successors, but occasionally I will pick up other transport items. I've included a small selection here in case they may be of interest. More items will be added over time.

A ticket dating from 1914 given to British sailors visiting St Petersburg, Russia.  It would allow them free travel on the tramway system in the city. The coat of arms of the city of St Petersburg is visible in the upper left corner.
This card was found in the old Central Police station in St Andrew's Square, Glasgow.  It had been slipped between the window facing and wall of the detectives office, and was only uncovered when the window was being repaired during the refurbishment of the building to become the first home of the Glasgow Police Museum.
With very grateful thanks to Alistair Dinsmor, Curator, Glasgow Police Museum.
