EDSEL & ELEANOR FORD
HOUSE Grosse Pointe Shores,
Michigan
3 wooden nickels from the 2016 Fairy Tale Festival at the
Edsel & Eleanor Ford House. Edsel
Ford was Henry Ford’s only child, the namesake of the car, and the president
of the Ford Motor Company. His
historic home in Michigan is open for tours and hosts various events for the
local community, including Fairy Tale Days for the youngsters. I believe these wooden nickels were used as
tickets for rides and games. The
bottom two designs are painted, and each coin will vary slightly in clarity
and positioning. The upper nickel is a
standard printed wooden nickel. The
rear of all wooden nickels is blank. Set of 3 in used condition.
The photo shows a representative set.
We have multiple sets, and yours will be similar. WN-MI02 -
