Hi all! Happy 4th of July!!  I’m new and trying to find where I find the catalog # for the many different tickets there are.  I know there someplace !  Thank you.

There is only one published work on the 1893 World's Fair tickets that I know of and I don't remember there being catalog #'s listed, but maybe. If I have time I'll take a look to see if there are any numbers listed in it.

If the reason you're looking for a catalog # is to submit these to PMG then I'd post this question in the Ask PMG section or contact them directly via email of phone.

Found it! I forgot it was so thin, it was sandwiched in between some of my other books and I didn't see it until now when I was rearranging my library.  

Anyway, this is the only catalog that I know of that is specific to these tickets, but there could be others, it's titled "1893 - COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, ADMISSION AND CONCESSION TICKETS" by James P. Doolin, ca. 1981. Below is an image of the cover.

It does have catalog numbers in it for over 150 tickets.
