I Walked through an Elephant Ticket, Margate, New Jersey
"I walked through an elephant. Lucy, Margate, New Jersey. National Landmark. 1881. 11253."

An undated ticket stub from a tour of Lucy the Elephant, "a six-story elephant-shaped example of novelty architecture" and possibly "the oldest surviving roadside tourist attraction in America," according to Wikipedia.
