I have an inquiry that some Historians here might be able to help with! I'm looking for an estimated value of an original ticket for The Mayflower. (No Need To UpVote)

Title says it all. My girlfriends grandmother is in possession of a ticket for the original journey via the Mayflower. I am no longer in the same state as her for the time being but she plans to send a photograph as soon as she's able to visit her Grandmother's. I however could not hold off the curiosity and am wondering if anyone here would have any idea the value of this item.

I'm confused as to how such a thing could exist...somebody has to issue the ticket, and there's certainly no one running passenger trips from Europe to America in 1620. The pilgrims chartered the Mayflower themselves, and they certainly weren't doing it to make money, so I don't see who they would pay for tickets...hell, I don't even know if tickets were a thing back then.
