Need help identifying this
Hi all!
I've had this postcard for years, but never could pin down what it is, who's on it, or how old it really is. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks in advance!IMGP8364.jpg IMGP8365.jpg IMGP8366.jpg |

Hello Scubadad, I am not a postcard expert but would date this from the White Border period 1915-30.
As for the team; there was a ballclub in the 1920's Tacoma Industrial League named the 23rd Street Skidoos (Fielder Jones was president of the TIL). The "23" and "Skidoo" on the door are almost assuredly related, but it was a very popular phrase in the early 1900's, and could be almost any town. To the best of my recollection I have never seen a photo of the Tacoma teams uniforms, but see what I can dig up. Last edited by pariah1107; 10-04-2015 at 07:05 PM. |

Well, the back has Los Angeles written on the back in period handwriting/ink. So that could help if you find they made a trip there.

With the divided postcard back, it's possible it could be anywhere from mid 1907 up through the 1920's. The "square stamp box" along with the "Place stamp here" looks similar to the square stamp box from 1919...but doesn't look like an exact match. My guess it's within a couple years either direction of 1919.

Not a baseball team at all.
Only eight players and a mascot/batboy.
