Edmundson ticket press, this and the card tickets were invented in the 1840s by Thomas Edmundson when he worked as a stationmaster at what is now Brampton, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway.

Used to date stamp / validate the small pasteboard / cardboard tickets. These were pre-printed & numbered for popular journeys and kept in a special rack in the booking office.
The numbers sold & cash reconciliation would be carried out on a daily and weekly basis ...
