Note: "Market Terminal Wallabout Brooklyn, NY" has been replaced with "NAVY YARD (BEDT)" (just above the matchheads). No doubt this variety was made after the 1941 Navy Yard expansion; therefore is the younger of the two types represented.

Dedication & Open House Announcement for the Bulk Flour Terminal
March 23, 1964
authors collection

I acquired this group of 24 passes from Nick Suruskie on August 14, 2025. All are issued to Henry O. Havemeyer, Jr, who passed in 1965. It appears they were glued into an album, all show signs of water damage, which leaves me to wonder if they were possibly left at 88 Kent Avenue after the abandonment. Irregardless, they are nice to add to my collection.
