Beautiful official American League season pass and original wallet admitting one Elmer Hallberg plus one guest to all American League ballparks for the 1959 season. The 1959 season would have been an exciting one for Mr. Hallberg to witness with the White Sox winning the pennant with a 94-60 record led by Hall of Fame pitcher Early Wynn. The pass is in outstanding condition slightly toned with discoloration on all four edges (likely a result of color transfer from the dark wallet) and somewhat wavy from being in the wallet for so many years. The wallet itself is also in excellent shape some pronounced edge wear (primarily at the corners and the fold) marring an otherwise beautiful appearance. Stamped number 874 the pass carries the facsimile signature of league president Joe Cronin. The recent increase in interest in vintage tickets has also sparked interest in season passes. This is an outstanding example from the "Golden Age" of baseball.
