Almost certainly one of the glass-bell-jar style of tickers. I don't know
exactly when the Teletype ticker came into service, but it was
around 1930.
Something I've never seen, and I don't know who made it, but Dow-Jones
had a "bulletin printer" that printed on a narrower page than a regular
Teletype. Believe it used 6-level code. I saw one on ebay once, in
an art-deco style cabinet and pedestal. So the scrap of page printer
copy could have come from a Model 12 (news wire service) or from a
bulletin printer (financial news wire service).
