OK, Most of you probably know that I passively collect Exposition tickets, and while not the most fancy design -by any stretch- I saw these for a good price and thought I'd pick them up.

Also that 1876 ticket stub was really small too (like 1"x3½") and I imagine these aren't much larger but I like them. Has anyone ever see these before or have examples of the more ornate tickets from this Expo? Thank you.

I don't have any of those tickets, but did pull these examples off the web that shows how they were distributed:



Apparently these were for the season ticket holders:

I never much studied the Panama Pacific Exposition, but just realized the Liberty Bell was shipped there as a main attraction!

Stallzer: Your items are very nice but are from the Pan-American Exposition (Buffalo, NY) in 1901; the original posts were of the Panama-Pacific Exposition (San Francisco, CA) in 1915. Two different Expositions some 14 years apart.
