Identify age and type of this photo - 1860s-1880s?
This photo is in the Hall of Fame archives.
What type of photo is it - a carte de viste? If so, what years were carte de vistes (if this is a cdv) created? I know the name and team provide some leads, but just based on the type of photo what is the approximate date of this photo? The reason I ask is that the HOF's identification of this photo doesn't look like that person to me. The age of the photo would help to answer that question. Paul C.

It is a CDV. The height of the CDV's popularity was during the 1860's and 1870's although they were still used after that, the Cabinet photo became more popular.

It's either a cabinet photo or a CdV, depending upon the size. Do you know its dimensions? It certainly looks like it could be circa 1875.

The HOF identified this as Jim O'Rourke, but this individual does not look like Jim O'Rourke to me. I will post known photos of him later for comparison.
Is it possible that this photo is Tom O'Rourke who played on Boston in 1887 and 1888? Anyone have a close-up photo of Tom for comparison? Jim had a brother John O'Rourke who played for Boston in 1879 and 1880. Both brothers played outfield together on the 1880 Boston team. I will post photos of John for comparison as well. I think these three players were the only O'Rourkes to play for Boston during that time period.

Paul, do you know if the original photograph is in fact part of the HOF archive?
Identity debate aside, I'm really intrigued on how the same CDV ended up for public auction. Was the CDV deaccessioned prior to 1996? Was it acquired by the HOF or was it received as a donation after the auction?
