[Albion] Old Goldstone turnstile....

[*Gullsworth*]

On ebay now, over 900 quid

But it looks similar to other sporting turnstiles from the racing fraternity. How can you tell if its genuine. Sorry cant post a link.....look under turnstiles

It is from Brighton, anyone on here?

Can't see anything corroborating it's from the Goldstone, could be from anywhere.

Thats what i thought, it looks similar to the one on sale from Chester racecourse. Would someone be devious enough to sell it out of Brighton to make it seem like a genuine Goldstone turnstile? Could also be very legit of course and a rare opportunity to own a stonking bit of memorabilia.

That’s a Brighton and Hove Rangers turnstile from Surrenden Field, I remember the paint colour.

How old are you? 106?



It is a very old turnstile

Put it this way, I received my telegram a few years ago.

This is a family video of me some time back.

Do they have a dominatrix to go with it?

A look at vintage turnstiles shows that many clubs used the same designs.

I'd want proof that it was genuine. There are quite a few knocking around.

W T Ellison was not registered until 1897 as a company, so it's later than advertised.

Surely you must know, you pay extra for that kinda service ;D

Is there anyone on here that this comment hasn’t ‘whooshed’ yet?

In vaguely related news, if we all donated our various Goldstone bits we could definitely recreate the old girl somewhere in Sussex.

American Express? That will do nicely.

Take it on The Repair Shop. Dom will fix it.

Well a year or two ago their were still a couple of Goldstone turnstiles (alleged) at DRE / Dortons.
Could be one of those after a clean up

‘The Repair Shop’ - my guilty pleasure.

Proceed with caution. Since paper went all plasticy and covered in holograms turnstiles have been the most counterfeited object worldwide.
Once the backstreets of the Far East were lined with stalls selling dodgy Rolex and Cartier now it's all turnstiles.
Apparently original turnstiles are going for MILLIONS at Sothebys and Christies these days.
Look for a serial number or a letter of authentication.
Hope this helps.....

I don't remember those turnstiles being in use when I attended but I could of course be mistaken.
