Here's a cash fare receipt I found under a seat in the 309 when I first started working on the interior about 1979. 23 cents from Forest Park to Garden Home, dated June 6, probably 1957. The original is very fragile, of course.

I believe Frank used this as a model to make some reporduction ones that I have been known to hand out on the car.
Interesting find, and amazing to think that it survived hidden as long as it did.
Handing out vintage tickets specific to the cars is such a great idea and something we should try to do a lot more often. It adds dramatically to the experience...in my humble opinion. Can you add Union to the CA&E tickets so I can get it punched from Union to my apartment in Lombard. That'd be too cool.
