Post Your Exposition And World's Fair Tickets

The crown jewel would be to actually locate one of those Ford V8 vehicles.

1901 Pan American Exposition
No Overprint
Souvenir Ticket Stub


I have seen Railroad Day and Farewell Day November 2 overprints in red and Buffalo Day October 19 in blue ink or red.

I have seen the red Childrens ticket with Buffalo Day October 19 overprinted in blue ink. So there are a number of possibilities that one might find and could collect of this smaller size souvenir ticket stubs.
This is my third different one.

It joins these two.



1901 Pan American Exposition
New York Day Souvenir Ticket Stub
No 2

I also picked up a second one of these larger size Sept 18th New York Day Ticket stubs.
I think it is an upgrade so one of these days I'll have to be selling my duplicates off.

Hello Folks! Just wanted to share these tickets I just purchased (well, I should say paid off and picked up). I'm a huge collector of anything to do with the 1893 World's Columbia Exposition and have a large collection of all types of tickets from it. I've always wanted a set of 1894 California Midwinter Fair admission tickets and finally was able to find a set and purchase them for my collection. The set of 4 are very hard to find and I've always wanted them because they are very much like the Columnbian Expo tickets. I also bought a San Francisco Day ticket too and included that photo as well. I only posted one reverse photo since they all are the same. Hope you find them as awesome as I do!!

Nice group!

Thanks for the replies and comments! I still can't believe I finally found and was able to but the set of 4 tickets and eventually I plan to send them out to PMG for grading so that they will be in holders and less at risk of damage. Plus, I also plan on sending out some of my Columbian Expo admission tickets that are in very nice condition along with them too.

Here are a couple other very rare ticket's in my collection that are from the 1893 Columbian Exposition.

Keep em coming. Post them all!
Glad you are posting these. Very cool.

Here's a few more interesting things from the 1893 Columbian Exposition.

Nice collection!

1876 United States International Exhibition Philadelphia
Package Ticket Serial no. 74956

I have two complete sets of 4 of these but have found a "Red Back" red serial numbered one without the red Fifty Cents overprint that I did not have. These seem to be less available than the white back ones.
Now I just need one more to make a complete third set of 4.

BLUE serial no overprint
RED serial no overprint
BLUE serial RED overprint
RED serial RED overprint


Funny way these become available. For awhile you see one type more than another, then it changes again.
Patience is the key. There does not seem to be a problem with availability.
I'll be keeping the nicest 4 in the end and selling the rest at some point I'm sure.
