Default 1900's Baltimore Orioles Cabinet

All right guys, give it to me straight. I just picked up this 1900's cabinet photo of a Baltimore player, can anyone help identify the player? The seller said it resembles Joe Kelley but I'm not sure. Thought it looked cool no matter who it is. Has anyone seen one of these before? Is it legit? Thanks guys!

Didn't think so, thanks oldjudge. Mostly wondering if the cabinet is in it's original state or if it was pieced together at a later date.

Only going by the from the jpeg, it looks legitimate, but it would be from the early 1900s.

Solved! This cabinet pictures SS Phil Lewis from the 1904 Baltimore Orioles. He's the second player from the right in the bottom row of this 1904 Baltimore team composite. Here's a link to his stats:

A fair guess is it's a family photo, originating from his family or estate. That's a common general style of family photos back then, and most premium or other commercial cabinets have at least some text on them. Plus I've never seen another example for him or other player. You bet parents or wife would like to have a family photo of son or husband in sports uniform.

Nice pick-up Jeff! And even better investigative work!! I knew it wasn't Joe Kelley during the auction but focused my search on 1890s players. I didn't think to look at players from the early 1900s! Awesome!!
