runscottI was curious, that's all - I thought you or another board member would have an answer that supported the item's relationship to base ball.
But you are right - your good reputation and your describing it as the Newark Base Ball Club was enough to sell a couple of serious bidders on the idea, and that's fine. Personally, based on the responses to this post and looking at your scans of the item, I think it was probably a social club that threw dances - probably around holidays such as the one described on this program (eve of Valentine's day).
Scott - these are just discussions. They come up all the time when board members have questions about a vintage baseball-related item on ebay. We are trying to learn more. I respect your knowledge and experience, which is why I emailed you Saturday morning about the item, and why I posted here when you did not respond.
