View Full Version : Washington Base Ball and Pleasure Club Ticket July 1, 1887 - Benefit Ball
Thought this was interesting so figured I would share it. I am sure there are others out there (maybe some members have one?) but I first saw it and was like WTF, Pleasure Club? I am IN!! But then I read about them and they weren't what one might conjure up in their dirty mind. It is approximately 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" in size and on a stock much heavier than paper, sort of like very thin cardboard.

Here's mine, Leon. It's very early at 1860.

Yet another one Leon. I like the looks of them as well, BTW.
I have seen quite a few early baseball related ball tickets. I haven't seen any others that say Pleasure Club but I am sure there are some out there?

I love these tickets to 19c base ball socials, although I don't have any that reference Pleasure Club. Here are a few from my small collection--enjoy.
Cheers,

This is actually a Victorian era Base Ball Dance Invitation from 1866 that is pretty cool.
