Old Tigers Ticket date?
 
Every time I run across an old ticket, I'm surprised I can't easily find an identification page on the internet (granted, a few teams have some dedicated fans/researchers that have done this, but for most I am at a loss). And why aren't I seeing many old graded Tigers tickets??

Anyway, here's my latest mystery:

Looks like my clues are:
1) President - Frank Navin (1908-1935)
2) Ticket design - Looks like 1908 and 1909 look very different, and 1910 and 1911 have a diamond design, but later tickets look pretty close to this for decades
3) Lack of War Tax - In 1918 MLB added a war tax to tickets, and I see taxes added to tickets through the 1930s
4) Ticket price - Grand Stand 75cents
- I've found a 1913 ticket with a Pavilion 50c
- I've found a 1918 ticket with Pavilion 55c (w/5c war tax)
- I've found a 1920 ticket for Grand Stand $1.01 (w/ 20c tax)

So I feel that my mystery ticket would be between 1912-1917 (since it isn't the old design, it has no war tax - and by 1920 the grand stand ticket price was higher)

Research examples (But do I trust their dates??):

"1909 Ticket" - labeled, totally different design

And of course, I found an exact match, but with no info:
