Comments & Discussion
Other tickets from the 1950s have also been spotted using a similar format. These are significantly smaller than the permits that were used around 1949-1951, which were larger and had much more information on them.
The ticket price had not changed since at least the 1940s, but the duration increased from 1 day to 15 days in that time.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: No damage, creasing, discoloration due to aging. There are four good corners, some fading of the stamped date and handwritten license plate number.
