Wide Awakes
I recently purchased this item and I'm trying to date it. The Wide Awake political movement came to prominence in the late 1850s and diminished after the Civil War. This ticket has a monday January 24 date with no year. January 24 fell on a monday in 1859, 1870, 1876, 1881, 1887. I don't believe this ticket is later than 1887. Does anyone have any research or knowledge regarding baseball teams named the Wide Awakes? I know the name was used for teams in the late 1850s and 1860s, but was it also used later? I'd like to make this 1859, but that may be wishful thinking.
