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. |
