Can anyone help with info on which set this card belongs to?

It has a blank back.

Kinda reminds me of one of Max's Vancouver Peanut cards but I'm fishing a bit here.

Edited to add: Found this reference to a Billy Adshead who played semi-pro ball in Vancouver during the '30's in Tom Hawthorn's SABR article.

Max can take it from here.

Yep, they're similar. Here's a scan:

There is nobody with that last name listed in the minor league database. I agree that it's one of the Vancouver Amateur cards.

edited to add: Nice card and I think those are pretty highly sought after.

Especially in that condition.

Very cool.

BTW, where did you get that quarter?

Thanks for the help guys. It certainly has a lot of the same characteristics as the card posted by Anthony and the article David posted points to an Adshead playing in Vancouver.

The info you provided pointed me to this thread.
