This is an interesting old ticket. Never seen one like it before. On the back is written that it was in Biloxi, Miss March 6th, 1943. A bit creases up, and some pin holes, but how many have you seen before?

Would that have been a movie(informative) perhaps at the City Hall?

I am wondering if it was to see one of the " Midget Submarines " that was captured at Pearl Harbor. They had it on tour to sell War Bonds ( or something similar ).

That is what I was thinking. Show the public some captured equipment, some heroes, and let them buy bonds.

Very plausible!

Whatever it's for, it's a cool find.

You guys are correct - that was a ticket to see a Japanese minisub captured at Pearl Harbor. That same minisub is on display in Fredericksburg, Texas at the National Museum of the Pacific War.

Well worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the Lone Star state.
