Early 1960s "stoa" TTs...............

I have several of these in my collection; oddly enough , none are dated (front covers depicts"Jetson" Fishbowl' with a stylish young lady and her little girl boarding; driver is in full uniform, of course!) Wink

The routes covered by each TT:

BX15/BX15A (Gun Hill Road/Hillside Homes)

BX15B (Baychester Avenue)

BX17 (Allerton Avenue)

BX18 (Macombs Road)

BX24 (Bailey Avenue)

BX41 (Webster Avenue & White Plains Road)

BX42 (Westchester Avenue)

All have the new "OA" insignia, as well as a map of each designated route..........

'NYO"

["MABSTOA"]

More like mid-to-late 1960's. The 'OA' insignia first took hold in 1965.

But I've also seen such TT's for certain Manhattan routes as well.

W.B.:

Gotcha! (thanks for the heads-up!) Wink

It's pretty clear that, by what I've "loined" from yourself and MaBSTOA 15, that the 1960s was when a HUGE purge took place, regarding the "Kramdens" and "Pattons"inherited from FACCo and "Soiface".

As you and I both know, by 1971, the few remaining "Kramdens" (those unique 5106s) were prematurely (and how!) retired,leaving only the inherited "Jetsons".

Sure with, though, we could see more early "stoa"-era photos, showcasing the fleet of battle-scarred, veteran "Kramdens" and "Pattons"..............

"NYO"
