Hilltop Park ticket stubs are rare and highly desirable but difficult to date. Such is the case with this example which features the facsimile signature of Frank Farrell who purchased the Baltimore Orioles in 1903 along with William Devery and moved the team to New York. Farrell sold the team to Jacob Ruppert and Tillinghast Huston in early 1915. As such the stub dates during that period. Well-preserved the piece advertises Midland Beach Seaside Resort on the reverse and does exhibit some faded and unintelligible writing on the reverse. Hilltop Park memorabilia is very highly sought-after among collectors with Hilltop Park tickets and stubs being particularly covetedas pieces related to the pre-Ruth Yankees. This is a strong example with some honest wear but excellent display value nonetheless.
