This ticket could still be valid, and when a fish dinner is on offer for only $1.75, how can you go wrong?

Dug out of The Box of Old Stuff and yours for any half-assed bid at all, it’s a passport to adventure in the form of the Essex County Sportsmen’s Association October 1946 catch-of-the-day dinner at the golf club in Leamington, Ontario, Canada.

You know the fish are going to be fresh, and while you’re pulling the bones out of your gums you get free entertainment, including Moving Pictures (we call them films now, unless they’re actually quite gripping emotionally) and a chance to win a bag of shells, presumably seashells.

As a bonus, here’s another admission ticket, this time to a dance being held in less than two years! It’s the Leamington Business and Professional Women’s Club dance down on Wigle Street. The price is a very reasonable $2.50 per couple — and you don’t have to wear any clothes!

No wonder it doesn’t start ’til 10. Pretty kinky stuff for the 1940s.
