DescriptionGroup of three hand-held ticket punches. The punches are in three somewhat different styles, but all have an upper and lower arm that the holder grips. One arm is hinged so that the holder can squeeze. Tickets fit into a slot at the front of each punch; squeezing the hinged arm punches out a small piece of the ticket.
