Description

Ephemera from the world's fairs that hosted the 1900 and 1904 Olympic Games: two 20 franc bonds headed "Exposition Universelle de 1900," which were issued to finance the event and provided the bearer twenty free admission tickets (only one ticket remains attached to one bond); a separate panel of four admission tickets for the 1900 Exposition Universelle; and a panel of four attached tickets for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In overall very good to fine condition, with edge tears and paper loss to the bond documents. The Exposition admission tickets were also the tickets used for the Olympic events.
