Hackensack Line Railway Ticket - 1917

Seller's description:

Vintage, as is, 1922 ticket from Public Service Railway's Hackensack Line.  The Public Service Railway, owend by the Public Services Corporation of New Jersey, opeated most of the streetcar lines in NJ by the early 20th century.


I don't see anything that says "1922".



UPDATE:

I sent the seller a long, convoluted explanation about why I thought this ticket was from 1917 instead of 1922. It had to do with guessing that there were unseen letters and numbers under the tape mark - a "1" before the "917" primarily and a "T" before the "HU" to clinch it.

The "T" would make it say "THU-NOV 22" (Thursday).

Nov. 22 in 1922 was a Wednesday, but was a Thursday in 1917.

Voilà! He just wrote back: "you are correct, it is 1917, not 1922. Thanks for catching this!"
