CelticKnot.....thanks for the compliments. I love collecting Columbian exposition items of all types. I like to think of my collection as my own personal museum! LoL  |

I've posted this elsewhere some time ago, but it seems most appropriate on this topic. This is a "Participation Certificate" for the 1926 Sesqui-Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. This was essentially a stock certificate for citizens who invested in the fair (this one was unissued). People expected to get some or all of their money back from the fair proceeds, but poor attendance and other factors resulted in a loss, so these effectively became donation souvenirs.

qktbird, your little museum is amazing. My Grandmother told me about the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair as she attended it as a small girl.

I was scrolling through some of the early pages of this thread and noticed a lot of broken links. @TNG - any idea why most of your pictures have dropped out? Also, I noticed an item from the 1893 fair - @qktbird, can you tell me the printing house imprint, in small type at the bottom of this one?  |

I'll add one more item, though it qualifies as scrip rather than a ticket. This was issued at the 1988 World's Fair in Brisbane, Australia. There was also a $5 denomination.  |

Very nice! Quote:

@GregAlex......sorry, I just saw your post on the previous page. I'm not sure what the small print is at the bottom of that Pennsylvania invitation that you asked about. I found my original photo, but couldn't read it on their either. I'm not exactly sure where or which binder I have the invitation in so it won't be easy for me to locate so I'm not able to tell you what it says. I work a long 5:30pm till 6am shift so I really don't have free time to hunt for it right now. Sorry!

I was just curious if it was printed by a banknote company. If you do find it, I'd like to know, but there's no pressing need.
