Coney Island Steeplechase Park ticket

This ticket is an original "Ride tickets" c. 1940-1950, that came from George C. Tilyou's iconic Steeplechase Park, c. 1897, located in Brooklyn, New York. The tickets were originally attached by "a string" to a "shirt button," and a hole was punched in them each time the wearer of the ticket went on a ride. My dad collected these souvenir tickets each time he visited Coney Island. And now it's time to send the tickets on a ride of their own to a new home, where they will continue to be loved and cherished.
