19th Century Detroit Eye Candy
Well, I have John Thorn & Graig Kreindler to thank for a link to recently posted images from the Detroit Historical Society. Among the items, proof that Gray Studio was responsible for the images that would ultimately be used by Goodwin for their 1887 Detroit N172s (and subsequent re-issues). Jay Miller and I theorized this to be the case when a Chicago White Stocking proof surfaced of Ned Williamson several years ago (from Gray Studio). The 1887 Chicago and Detroit cards have the same stadium background (believed to be same studio).
Here are some of the long awaited Detroit proofs from Gray Studio:     Can you name these four without cheating? I find it interesting that some of the cabinets have a faint stamp on the mount as follows: Copyrighted 1887. GOODWIN & CO. N.Y. Copyrights are not known on other 1887 studio proofs, but common on 1888 and 1889 proofs (often scribed into the negative). I'll share more tomorrow if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

These are awesome, Joe!
The top one is Dan Brouthers. I recognize the other three by sight, and I have a card of the bottom one, but I don't remember who they are off the top of my head without looking. I'll kick myself when I see the answers.

Not an in game photograph, but it is a photograph of the 1884 Philadelphia NL team in Recreation Park. The park was closed after the 1886 season when Philadelphia moved to what became known as the Baker Bowl.

Looks like various team ticket books were very similar. Here is an 1886, almost full ticket book, from the NY Giants. The inside front cover is signed by owner John B Day. Day at one time owned both the Mets and the Giants, and to maximize revenue, stacked the Giants. Day was driven to financial ruin by the fallout from the formation of the Player's League.
