Edsel Ford's 1934 Season Pass for Detroit Lions Home Football Games
01
Artifact Overview
George Richards sent this 1934 season pass -- good for a reserved seat at the Detroit Lions football team's home games -- to Edsel Ford. Richards had just purchased and moved the Portsmouth, Ohio, football team (then called the Spartans) to Detroit. When this pass was cancelled due to federal tax regulations, Richards mailed Ford passes that could be exchanged for tickets to the remaining games.
