I will do that. I asked a respected member and expert in this area to take a look and he had the same issues as we did but mentioned that it was a reputable dealer so he thought it may actually be OK. But did say it looked to be late 1890's with the embossed cabinet style. It will be pretty clear once I can get a loop to it and do a black light test on it as well.
As for the Newspaper team I didn't know that but did look on the net after it was mentioned to see if there was any notes talking about a St. Louis Newspaper baseball team. Nothing on that but some other interesting fact about St. Louis did come up. At least its a learning experience.
