Over the last couple of weeks I managed to snag a few other Exposition tickets. A couple of 1901 Pan-American tickets, a couple from the 1876 World Fair Admission tickets and when I get those in I'll post images. Neat stuff if you like fine artwork.

art,
I can't wait to see your new additions. I have a 1876 Centennial ticket that has "package" stamped across it.

Hey StamperDude,

You got an image or are going to keep it a secret? I've been doing some reading on those and that one wasn't mentioned... The 1876 show was the 100th year of our country and was the 1st of the great U.S. Expositions.

Thereafter came
1893 Colombian Exposition
1895 Cotton States Exposition
1901 Pan-American Exposition
1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Lewis & Clark
(I think I forgot a couple)
and other equally well know but ticket aren't nearly as attractive.

It is the 3rd one on the left in the first picture. I've shown these before, but I'll do it again.

Is "package" in purple ink, running bottom left to upper right? I think I can make it out. Regardless, nice ticket and I haven't seen another link like it on the WEB, anywhere. Your ticket may very well be limited to a very few. Lie I`said, nice ticket.

Very nice. Somewhere I have a 1c Columbian encased for the Columbian Expo. I'll see if I can find.

A great site for the Columbian Expo is the Urban Simulation Team at UCLA. Several really nice simulation videos of the fair grounds and building. Really great site. http://www.ust.ucla.edu/ustweb/Proj...ian_expo.htm
