It also looks period to me, but I thought it had been cut from something due to the uneven border on the right side. I asked the seller if it had been cut from a magazine, he replied and said he couldn't verify the source from where it had come from.

Regardless, I didn't bid because I just had a gut feeling it could have been cut from something else. It was still a neat looking picture that I haven't seen before.

This was obviously cut from a book of some type. You can tell by the sharp uneven cut right border and dog eared left border. Cool item for maye $20 but not a handbill.

4" x 6 1/2"? Probably straight out of a Spalding, Reach or Napoleon Lajoie guide.

More obviously cut from a magazine (The Sporting Goods Dealer), but similar photos and content. Measures 8" across.
