1911 Ohio & Pennsylvania Season Pass
I've had this for many years and curious if anyone can tell me anytjing about it. It's a little larger than a silver dollar but does not appear to be made of silver. The 2 on the back leads me to believe it was once the property of a top league employee or owner. Or, maybe, some guy who was second in line when the sales window opened. :) I also assume its scarce but I know scarcity does not necessarily mean value. So, just curious to see what I can learn about it. Thanks.

Hi r2678,
I have been trying to find some info on your "token" pass... I found the info below in the Sporting Life April 1910 - thought it might be a clue as to what the number "2" is on your coin....? EACH year President Brush, of the New York National League Club, designs some thing in the season pass line unique as well as beautiful. This year the pass to the Polo Grounds is a beautiful leather card case with the pass and the recipients name print ed in letters of gold on a leather fly leaf, thus making this something unusual in the pass line. Corresponding with the number of the pass a seat is reserved for every game at the Polo Grounds. President Brush has the editorial thanks for one of these unique souvenirs. |
Found it
Wholly Sheeet... I found it... Atleast something about it! You now know what its made of.
See below: Sporting Life April 29th 1911 issue President Moreland has our thanks for a 1911 season pass to all of the Ohio-Pennsylvania league parks. The pass Is a unique affair, being a gunmetal coin almost the size of a silver dollar, num bered on one side and suitably inscribed on the re verse side. |
Thanks. That's great information. Appreciate your hard work.
