Any idea what year this might be from?

This ticket is most likely from the early-mid 1930's. By 1936-1937 a grandstand seat at Shibe cost $1.14. There was a great article 5-8 years ago in SCD that had an article that outlined the subtle intricacies of Philadelphia tickets without hard dates. I'm sorry but I can't remember ther exact date or author.

I have one from the years 1936-1937 that exactly matched the authors' exemplars and had a price of $1.14 on it, FWIW.

I hope this helps.
