The two visible tickets have a rectangular format with bevelled corners, with black typographic printing on paper with a slightly yellowed appearance testifying to their age. The tickets include printed and handwritten inscriptions, showing areas to be completed upon use (number of seats, departure, destination, price, luggage, total).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the top of each ticket is the company name, \"LES CARS DU HAUT VERDON\", followed by \"ROUX FRÈRES\" and the location \"COLMARS-les-ALPES (B.A.)\". There are also telephone mentions for Colmars and Allos, as well as the registration number \"R.C. Digne 577\". The visible serial numbers are 078829 and 077681 respectively, each printed at the bottom left of the ticket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two tickets show different handwritten entries in grey ink, probably indicating the number of seats and the price. The printing shows a classic alignment for mid-20th century transport tickets, with sans-serif fonts and a clear layout of information. The paper appears to have retained a matte surface, with slight signs of wear and rounded corners, typical of handled period documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be noted that the tickets have not been punched or torn, which suggests that they were not used or were intended for manual verification. The \"Departure\" and \"Destination\" fields remain blank, which reinforces their interest as authentic testimonies of regional road transport in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general presentation and aesthetics of these tickets are reminiscent of printed materials for rural public transport of the 20th century, with a functional layout and sober signage. The paper shows a natural patina, without major traces of stains or tears visible on the presented side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed items, in good overall condition given their age.

These tickets bear witness to an era when local road transport was a vital link for mountain areas, before the generalization of individual cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping.
