Those are both nice examples, Nells. Wonder if that art student extended his pass by a few months. :-)

1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Fairbanks Scales Weight Ticket


Who-Collects-Old-Tickets?

Fairbanks Morse and Company began in 1823 when inventor Thaddeus Fairbanks opened an ironworks in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Fairbanks Scales is a company founded in 1830, when Thaddeus Fairbanks invented the platform scale.
The scale that weighed a person of 150 lbs and that this ticket was produced for, was most likely located in The Machinery Building at the 1904 St Louis Worlds Fair or Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
It was a platform scale that probably looked like the one shown in the center of this weight ticket one would keep as an Exposition Souvenir.
Platform scales were useful in weighing anything from sacks of grain to truckloads of freight and were made in all sizes.


Win a Ford V-8 Ticket
at The 1935 San Diego Exposition


Who-Collects-Old-Tickets?

This is an apparently unused ticket to win a Ford at the 1935 San Diego Exposition.
The California Pacific International Exposition was a World's Fair that was open from 1935 to 1936, in San Diego, Southern California.

I will see what I can do. Working from home now means no access to a scanner, so photos would have to suffice. I just need to dig them out.
