Default Additional Kiosk Photos

Here are some additional photos of the kiosk, which is coming together slowly. Getting a better idea of the dome and booth color changes over time.

1) Multiples of $1.50 stenciled on the interior frames of both windows, just in case some wise guy ordered nine tickets. This is my favorite stuff.

2) The booth was the far right kiosk when facing the Stadium at Gate 4. It housed windows 18 and 19. The one in Cooperstown was to the far left at the same gate, windows 8 and 9. Still trying to determine the number of the Smithsonian booth.

3) The configuration of the counters when inside the booth. The red-ended pieces were the actual ticket counters. There's math all over these too. The tops of both were reinforced with heavy steel plate.

4) An area of the dome where the paint layers have peeled off, exposing the familiar "battleship gray", the copper covering, and what looks to be two shades of green. The green may just be tarnished copper.

5) One of the two rolling, illuminated banners. These were added in 1956, some time before the World Series
