Featured in this auction may well be an early, admission, ticket for one on the pioneers or Roller Coaster Rides, L.A. Thompson's Scenic Railway in Luna Park at Coney Island, N.Y. If not an admission ticket, then a genuine artifact or the souvenir variety of a grand time in the early years of amusement park entertainment. Do some searching using the Internet; "L.A. Thompson's Scenic Railway in Luna Park." You will find plenty of information about this, earlly, roller coaster, and the Luna Park amusements at Coney Island. Reading about them made them seem more fabulous than anything we might visit even today! The piece is about 4"'s in diameter. It looks to be broken across the bottom, and may have been, but a nice repair was done, and it is not at all loose. Right now I have it in a protective, rigid, plastic sleeve that I use for my postcards and it will be secure t and during mailing. This is something I have never come across before, and, I will say I have found it quite 'amusing' to look up some of the information available on the early, days, of Coney Island, and the antique world, of "pioneer roller coasters". I hope this piece will find it's way to a collector's home. Thanks for the visit! 'travl'r
