Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>I'm trying to find out a year, team, whatever for a vintage cabinet I might purchase. Some of these guys look vaguely familiar, but thought I would enlist the help from some of the experts here. Is this a factory, semi-pro or major league team? Thanks in advance,<br /><br />James<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/brooksie05/Vintage%20Baseball%20Type%20Cards-Boxing/photoforkevenfront12.jpg">

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>It certainly looks 1885-1890, but every cabinet has somebody vaguely familiar who could be someone famous. Unless you have absolute proof of i.d., I believe it is an unknown team.<br /><br />Edited to say more likely 1890.

Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>I would agree with an 1890's time period. With only nine players in the photo it would lead me to speculate a factory or town team. Minor League and Major League teams would typically have 12 - 15 or more on their team. However, the fact that they all have quality, matching uniforms would mean they have some money behind them. <br /><br />Rob M.
