This cabinet came from a lot in the latest REA auction. Flour City was a nickname for Minneapolis so I assume this was some sort of Minneapolis jersey. A clue can be gained from the photographer. Although part of the name is obscured, I assume the photographer is W H Jacoby, a rather famous early Minnesota photographer. He operated a studio until 1890 which should be the latest date for the cabinet if my assumption is correct. I've talked to some early Minnesota baseball historians who have never seen an image of this jersey. My hope is that someone on the board will have some idea of when it is from. Thanks for any help you can provide!
