Here is an extremely rare Federal League Annual Pass to the 1915 season.
1915 would be the 2nd and final year of the Federal League and an important one as far as no-hitter games.
Four Federal League pitchers pitched no-hitter games in 1915:
Frank Allen of the Pittsburgh rebels no-hit the hometown St. Louis Terriers
Claude Hendrix of the Chicago Whales no-hit the hometown Pittsburgh Rebels
Alex Miles Main of the KC Packers no-hit The Buffalo Blues at Buffalo
Dave Davenport of the St. Louis Terriers no-hit the Chicago Whales at STL.
Three of the four 1915 Federal League no-hitters had extremely low attendance, with 500, 1000 and 1500 fans in attendance respectively.
Finding tickets to these games has proved to be impossible, so adding this rare annual season pass will at least cover these games in my collection.
This particular paper/cardboard 1915 Federal League pass is the only one known to survive in the hobby according to REA.

Congratulations on a cool, cool, cool piece of Federal League history.
