Good work, Jimmy! I've never seen the " New York Clipper " site. How long has it been up?

Thank you Scott.
John's a pretty knowledgeable fellow and has probably seen and read them all by now, so that was really gratifying.

Nice read Jimmy! One question and sorry if I missed it. If not Brooklyn then where was the ball club from?

Thanks Joe.
Maybe there was an amateur club in Greenwich named Excelsior at the time but I think the 'inventor' just used that name for the original design considering it was a very common/popular name for clubs (since the 1860s.) I haven't seen another one or didn't find any kind of advertisement while writing the post, so I'm thinking this was some kind of proof piece that originated from Mr. Child himself.
