I acquired this about a yr ago now. It was just listed as 2- 8x10 babe Ruth photos.
I dug these back up, while on break, and still like to get some information on them.
I am guessing its 1930's ish and maybe St.Peterburg Fl spring training??
I also like to know maybe some of the other players in the photos..like #29, #21 or anyone else notable.

I rotated the pics, to it wont be so hard to look at:

if indeed its 1930. this mean that the player wearing #21 is Ruffing, and #29 is McEnvoy??
I found a pic of a team photo from March 8, 1930 and it mentions this:
1930 New York Yankees Team (St. Petersburg, Florida - March 8, 1930). It’s funny, the only two players in this picture who aren’t wearing their Yankees jerseys are Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig. Then again, they were kind of a big deal.

As pictured here:
Ruth is top row, L-R 4th guy
Gehrig is 2nd row R-L 2nd guy

UPDATE: Another photo i found:
In this image the dynamic duo is standing with Manager Bob Shawkey during spring training in St. Petersburg, Florida. This Duo was one of the most feared duos in baseball. In any given game they could go on a home run drive and takeover the scoreboards. This photo is dated Marchn13th 1930 and is Credited by "ACME".

Looks like the same shirt as in the team pic. Also, no hat as in the team pic as well.

Another question thats been brought up by another member. Is this a TYPE 1, 2, 3 or etc photos???

Update: Pic 2of2 is blank back, but the other does say something like manufactered by kodak. up close i noticed some imperfections on the photos and what looks like some pitting on the photo of sort i think, not sure if its something typically seen, as i am not a photo expert.
And notice the little white pieces mentioning negatives (on the protective sleeve). Thats all i know about these. Seems like there been some sort of stamping or writing on the reverse.

As i dug deeper, things are looking as much, much later copies here.
