Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>Ok, football, but here it is anyway. Picked up a HUGE framed (original) cabinet of the 1887 Ottawa College FBC (Foot Ball Club) "Champions of Canada" team. The interesting thing is that earlier this year, from a completely different source, I picked up an almost identical cabinet card of the 1888 championship team, which I have since sold.<br /><br />Rob M.<br /><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/1887%20football.JPG"><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/1887%20football%202.JPG"><br /><img src="http://home.kc.rr.com/ramram/1888%20Ottawa%20Football%202.jpg">

Posted By: <b>CarltonHendricks</b><p>Tell ya what, it's got the kiss of Canada, but still that's a kiler photo....what are the dimensions? It is one of the best looking composite photos I've seen, and the period frame completes it. Can you take a closer in of the trophy? I don't know if you're selling it but I'll tip off someone I know who may be interested to it. John Buonaguidi had a great Canadian football composite photo, same vintage, that he sold at the 06 National, seen below, and featured in the page link below:<br /><a href="http://sportsantiques.com/06natpage4.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://sportsantiques.com/06natpage4.htm</a><br /><img src="http://sportsantiques.com/06NationalPhotos/06NationalPhotos/Hendricks/CanadianFBPOSTER.jpg"> <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>Wow Carlton, that collage is incredible! Do you remember any specifics about what teams/league it represented? As for mine, I would imagine it will be available for sale/trade before long. <br /><br />Framed dimensions are roughly 24"x28".<br /><br />Here is a closeup of the trophy. <br /><br />Rob M.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1198101165.JPG">

Posted By: <b>paulstratton</b><p>Beautiful piece Rob. Have you dug up any information on the team as of yet? I would be interested to see the schedule that they played. That composite is just ridiculous.
