Comments & Discussion
This is the same style of ticket that was using during the 1920s, although this one has a yellow color that is unique. A few different stamps were used around this time. This one read “The Pikes Peak Auto Highway” across the top.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: There is staining on the front, and a torn edge upon arrival into the archives.
