Comments & Discussion
This single day permit only cost $1. Other tickets from later in the 1950s and 1960s still cost $1, but were valid for 15 days instead of one day. The ticket also lists off some of the rules for visitors in the park.
The tickets from the previous year used the same format (Form 10-72a), but were a beige color. The tickets from 1951 used the same format and also the same light blue color as this ticket.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: There is a horizontal center fold, and light discoloration along one edge that shows on both sides.
