This is a season’s ticket for the 1931 New York Giants baseball club made out of 14 carat gold. It was given to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his capacity as Governor of New York. The picture on the front is a reproduction of a 1909 image by Charles Dana Gibson (more famous as creator of the “Gibson Girl”), while the back has Roosevelt’s name and “one party” as those covered by presenting the ticket at the Giants’ home field, the Polo Grounds. The reverse also shows a 14K gold stamp from Lambert Brothers, the jewellers once located at 58th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York City which produced the ticket for the Giants.

The original image can be seen here on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum’s website.
