Re: U.P R.R ticket

Is it totally made up? Or is it a copy of a real one?

Fantasy Token. Here's one with "value 100 dollars" :

http://cprr.org/Museum/Ephemera/Buffalo_fantasy_token.html

States it is stamped at the bottom "L A Stamp", same as yours is (below "Union Pacific").

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...d=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com (see under "Tokens, Medals, Bars:")

"L.A. Stamp: ALL tokens marked such are modern fantasy items. The genuine issues of the Los Angeles Rubber Stamp Company were marked "L.A. Rub. Stamp Co.", "L.A. Rub. Stp.Co." or similar."

Learn something everyday....the LA Stamp information is good to know.

Thank you,
