SAN FRANCISCO CABLE CAR Authentic Cable Section and Grip Die. This set includes a section of cable resting on a section of grip die. The section of steel cable is made up of 6 strands of 19 wires around a sisal core. It was taken out of service in 1984 and is wrapped in a metal band with a brass medallion. The medallion on the cable read. I believe it is presentation piece. I was told they decommissioned this cable in the mid 80s. It is also resting on the gripping die. Measures Approximately 3 inches by one and a quarter inches.

The base shows some signs of wear, but it’s in very good condition overall. It looks neat on any desk, table, or anywhere. Approximate measurements: The piece of cable itself is 3″ Long x 2 3/4″ in diameter. The piece of cable itself weighs 1388 Grams. The base itself measures 3.5″ x 3.5″ x 2.5 Tall. Please note we often use recycled boxes and packing materials. While it is all clean-especially the interior packing material; the packing paper is often new-sometimes it’s used. The boxes may show wear. Most of the time the boxes are used. Please forgive us in advance for this. We are expert packers, so your item will arrive safely unless the carriers do a number on it, which they do occasionally :, but to keep our costs down (which serendipitously is good for the environment too), we do this. Thank you in advance for understanding. Again, please accept my apologies for this statement. It’s only directed toward “the 1%”.
