Philadelphia 1876 International Exhibition Tickets - Package Tickets with
Original Envelopes
I remember back in the 1970's when Paramount Philatelics turned up a
shoebox full of these tickets. One of our clients turned up a small hoard
of these in the Northeast. However, these have the original issuing
envelopes. We have two envelopes with a ten on the front (for 10 tickets
inside) and the Philadelphia Bank Note Co. seal on back. Now I understand
the meaning of the term "Package Ticket" on the face of the ticket. The
hoard also included individual tickets. We are offering the 10 packs at
$350.00 postpaid. Each pack will also include an individual ticket for
display purposes. The individual tickets are available at $25.00 postpaid.
