Joe_G.I contacted the seller giving him more information on this piece. This is what I sent him (and his reply).
----------------------------------------------------My email:
FYI, this is not about a baseball game between Detroit and Cleveland but instead a political ribbon from Detroit against Grover Cleveland's re-election bid for 1888. Still a very neat item.
His Reply:
Thank you for this information. You have seen this ribbon before? I intend to stop the auction and research the ribbon. The specific August 1 date would indicate an event in Detroit on that day, possibly a political rally. Best regards, Jsmith.
----------------------------------------------------I was going to bid, and will probably still do so when it is relisted.
Best Regards,
