B. B. Club Help? Ticket

Hello,

Purchased a Group of Tickets / Cards

And this little one was in there.

I have not been able to find very much on it.

I thought the Young Men's League would of been kids, but apparently
they called it that for younger adults etc as well. Just watched a special
on it from PBS. Would love to find out more about the team!

Thanks in advance as always!

Warm Regards,
Scantic

 

There's a Harmonie Hall in Shelby, Texas that was established in 1875 and is still operating as a function facility. Unfortunately the location given only uses "route numbers" and no street names, but you might be able to find a map that shows what those streets are or were called.

Just tried Google Maps. Looks like it's a tiny place (the town) and Harmonie Hall is now located in a park, so there's no real "street names."

Guess we'll need to look for another Harmonie Hall.

 

Found it! Harmonie Hall First Avenue and Mineral Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Wow! Thank you so much! I was having a great deal of trouble finding the spot!

 

Okay - I think the S. S. stands for Sunday School. I tried searching S S Baseball Club and that's primarily what I ended up with (although I did not find a reference back in 1904 in Milwaukee.)

 

That def. Makes a lot of sense! I was thinking it might have been related. I have two others that came with it but they don't seem to be related in anyway.

 

I wonder... The 3 "tickets" you posted seem to all have the same seal-like impression on them - a manufacturer or Union stamp? Perhaps "collected" by someone related to said stamp?

 

Yes, the Seal is a Milwaukee Printing Company stamp, sorta like the white head hoag stamp on Pinback buttons. But I wasn't sure if they were from that area, because there are a lot of stuff produced and shipped elsewhere!

I believe they say Allied Printing, but it's difficult to tell.

 

That's true. But perhaps an employee kept some samples?

Is there any printing on the reverse of the song lyric cards?

 

Haha! YouTube has a recording (from 1906!) of "Waltz Me Around Again Willie."

 

Opps! Sorry forgot to specify The song cards are actually the backs of the two Idaho & Athlete Cards

 

Ah! Makes sense then.

 

Sorry for being ignorant, but does 'ladies ticket' mean that men and women would have sat in different areas? And the second ticket down makes me wonder what happened to the 'masked' ladies!!!
