need pictures of old Comiskey turnstile

[keithsky]

Was wondering if any guys have closeup pictures of an authentic Comiskey Park turnstile either an actual one or photos back in the day. Can't seem to find any. I have seen people every once in a while selling them but you never know if they are from there or another park as the same company made them for numerous parks. thanks

I assume you're referring to the one for sale on a certain website? I can tell you the Comiskey turnstiles were BLUE when the park closed. I also don't ever recall seeing one with the Comiskey name on the side. Maybe the one for sale was an extra or portable one they occasionally used. Unless you have a nice photo match, I'd probably avoid it. I'm not saying it's fake, but I'd prefer a blue one.

Hi Mike, yes Im refering to the one on a certain website. I thought also the Comiskey decal on the side was a red flag but wasn't sure. I used to go to Sox games at old Comiskey when I was younger but never paid attention to something like that. I thought maybe they were green but sounds like blue was the color you were sure about. Thanks for the info.

I never paid attention to the color of the turnstiles either back in 1990, but I dug up some photos and they were 100 percent blue. The turnstiles also were each numbered.
