Does someone have a way to find out which type United was operation on this route back then?

Perhaps an Email to these people might prove useful?

I can't make out the date on the ticket but the aircraft looks like a DC-6B to me.

Maybe a DC-4, then. Mind you, the tailfin has the squarer top profile of a DC-6B, but that could be down to the artist who drew it.
Whatever the aircraft, these tickets are of immense interest. Thank you for posting them.

The same aircraft reg. NC30001, appears on a postcard from a similar date:

Asrgh! Sorry.
When I said in my previous post to try sending an email to these people I forgot to add the folliwing link to the United Airlines Historical Foundation.....
Sorry for any offence I may have inadvertantly caused.
