Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>I just picked up this CDV of a small child in a uniform. Any idea as to the approximate age of this? This CDV is from R.H. Child, on Main Street, Port Chester, NY<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1107402549.JPG"> <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Rob L

Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>It would help to see the full CDV to help date it. Looks to be late 1860's. Not baseball related. Children were often dressed in decorative pseudo military-like clothing for their photos during this period.<br /><br />Rob

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>A few quick thoughts: while it is common to see adults of that era wearing baseball uniforms, it's hard to imagine that someone was manufacturing baseball uniforms for what appears to be a four year old. Where would one go to find a baseball uniform for a child? None of the catalogs advertise them, so based on that and the lack of a ball and bat, I don't think it's baseball. It looks civil war era, so it might be some kind of junior military uniform (not that a four year old would enlist). Also, is the mount cut that way, with four sharp corners, or is that your cropping? I would guess the image is mid to late 60's and not baseball. But very attractive nonetheless. Children photograph well and dags of children always bring a premium, particularly wearing a uniform.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Certainly looks like a baseball player, late 1880's, not much else I can say about it.
