Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Hi, I was hoping to get some opinions on 2 Cabinet Photos I have.<br /><br /><br />The first one shows an amature game in progress. I know photo isnt that clear. What Year (era) do you think it is from??<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/1880inprogress.jpg><br /><br /><br />The second one shows 3 boys in uniform (Sackville, New Brunswick). Do you think they are baseball players?? and what year (era)?<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/1880boysx3.jpg><br /><br /><br />Thanks for any info you can tell me.<br /><br /><br />Frank

Posted By: <b>John S</b><p>I would say that both are pre-1900. The second one looks like a lobby poster for the Clockwork Orange.

Posted By: <b>drcycleback</b><p>The top is from 1890s, or possibly very late 1880s. The bottom is 1880s-90s, most probably 1880s.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>If I had to guess sport for the bottom one, I'd say cricket since they uniforms seem more aking to cricket than baseball from that era.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>Growing old is not optional, growing up is.

Posted By: <b>Daniel Bretta</b><p>The bottom photo could be many things and may be impossible to identify with the lack of any equipment in the photo....the guy on the left appears to be wearing a lace-up shirt/jersey which is similar to what football players from the era wore.<br /><br />
