Trying to figure out what I have before I take the back off... Not sure if it affects the value or not if I take the paper off the back but I can tell is never been removed since it was put in the frame. I've tried to research the New York Buffalo's team but I cannot seem to find this logo or uniform team combination? I can find stuff similar but just cannot pin it down? It does have New York buffaloes written in pencil real small the back.
Any clue what I have - minor-league? what you guys think 1920s ? I really appreciate the help

Uniform style looks like 1927 Buffalo Bisons (possibly other surrounding years as well, but I don't have images to support or deny years other than 1927)
In the first photo 8th from the left is Bill Clymer who managed the Buffalo team from 1926-1931.
the 10th player from the right looks like Showboat Fisher who played on the 1928 and 29 teams.

Lance and Don, great stuff, guys -- looks like a match.
Lifelong Bison fandom here, yet we've somehow never run across a pic of
that particular style of uni from that era, nor any sight at all of that particular logo.

Thank you guys for your input!
Here is a couple more... I could take a lot better pictures if I take it out of the glass and had something better than a crappy phone camera.
It may be that if I take it out of the frame, all the answers as to the date and who, what etc would be revealed -then again could be nothing...
