Default Need some help with a 19th century baseball cabinet

Posted By: jason

Hi Adam, thanks for your help earlier on the legal issue!

I wanted to do my best to help you out in return but could not find too much info on the Meteors.

I searched my baseball database but the only entry I found for a Meteors club was for an 1866 team listed in Addison NY.

From an aesthetic point of view, I think the cabinet is outstanding! The uniforms are nice and the team appears well organised but the star of the show is, as has already been pointed out, the catcher’s mask. To have a shot of such an early example will increase the price about by about 40% over a standard imperial team cabinet. The problems with the mount do not have an overly detrimental impact on pieces pre 1880 (you almost expect clipped corners or stains)

Nice Pickup!
