Super piece, Matt. That would be the star of any Federal League thread.

The Whales print, including the frame is 28"x 13".

1873 Peck and Snyder Encyclopedia
 

Picked up an early equipment catalogue, 1873 Peck and Snyder Encyclopedia with 20 colored engravings, many base ball related including some of players in specific team uniforms. I attached the Cincinnati Red Stocking one.
There are a few condition issues, including a missing leaf with a colored engraving of base ball hats.
You can view the Library of Congress copy online at internet archive. However, anyone who wants a specific page or type of equipment pages sent to them, just sent me your email.
If anyone has a copy of the catalogue I would greatly appreciate a copy my missing leaf.
By the way I could find no mention of the Peck and Snyder team photos.
My first attempt to post photos failed, but I will keep trying. Failed again so I will post this and keep trying with just the photos.

Great pickup, Bruce. Would love to see the pages with baseballs.

1873 Peck and Snyder
 

Paul, photos sent.
Unfortunately I have had difficulties uploading photos to this thread. Sorry. If you would like to see anything in particular please send me an email and I will shoot you a photo.

Finally 1873 a few 1873 Peck and Snyder photos
 

Just a few of the baseball ones, and a cricket one because it was the Wright’s club.
Reminder, if you would like to see any black and white equipment pages, I could email them to you or post them if enough interest.

I am fascinated by those early caps with the "star" at the crown/top.

You'd think that just one example might surface, but I have never seen a single one in 25+ years of collecting. Does anyone have an example they can post, or even just a link to an auction where one of these was featured?

Not optimistic, but would love to see an actual one (instead of a picture of one) before I die. :eek:

Bruce- Great equipment catalog. It's interesting to see the actual colors of the various clubs.

Thanks Jeremy, if I thought the St George or Cincinnati images depicted a Harry Wright I would send it to you. The uniforms are quite colorful.

Great pick up, Bruce.

Bruce- The St. George Cricket club also was involved in baseball matches back in the day. I have a trophy baseball from a match between the Unions & the St George Club.

Goodness me!!! How on earth did you come across this? Amazing!
