Provenance:

In 1965 the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) was created by the New York State legislation as a public benefit corporation responsible for public transportation in the New York City metropolitan area. At some point the MTA began stockpiling, and then selling discarded items and surplus materials. The sales offered a variety of objects including signs, signals, benches, and equipment, as well as tiles. With a steady flow of materials from ongoing renovations and general maintenance systemwide, tiles from all time periods have shown up at local flea markets, salvage, and antique stores.
