Unfortunately an un-used example, from the same block that most collectors obtained one for their collection !

There are genuine used examples of similar 6d (purple overprint) tickets, however I cannot find my "files" about these: there were at least two places this type of ticket was used in the early to mid-1930s.

One was a "Combined Fare Ticket to and from the City via The Coburg Electric and Brunswick Cable Cars",

the other was used on the Glen Huntly lines to enable passengers to pay only once for their journey to the City, as until 1934 trams from Glen Huntly Depot did not run direct to the City - you had to transfer trams at Elsternwick or Ripponlea.
