Description

Just before the Crash of 1929, the New York Stock Exchange installed Last Sale Indicators onto the U-shaped trading posts "the Horseshoe". Each post has 9 indicators. Trading Specialists and brokers were assigned to their trading post outside and clerks were stationed inside. Clerks inside the horseshoe were connected via pneumatics tube station and telephone booths with the ticker plant. The Last Sale Indicators would would be set at plus or minus followed by their 3-digit closing price. These NYSE Last Sale Indicators were used until 1980 when they tore everything down to replace it with more modern computer and digital displays.

When they tore down the Big Board, the NYSE gave these last sale indicators to traders as a keepsake. This one is wonderfully boxed in solid Walnut. While a little stiff, the numbers do move. It has an engraved plate on the top from the Stockbrokers Society / Maurice Meyer who was a member of the NYSE.

We'd be happy to engrave a replacement plate for you if you would like to personalize this. Just give us text engraving instructions in the order notes during checkout or shoot us an email. These are very rare and seldom come up for sale!
