Thanks Graig. I bought it for resale and decided to keep it for now.

Yeah that's a neat picture! I'm curious as to what others think but I'd go with 1880s or perhaps a bit earlier.

Leon- It looks 1880s to me.

one of the players is holding a spalding thyer type catchers mask which would put this as early as 1878

Spider mask 1880s

Leon - Do you know which part of the country the picture was taken?

No idea. This piece did come from a renowned collection (Mark Rucker) but I have no idea where it originated.

I agree with 1880's, but please keep in mind that catcher's masks weren't thrown away the same year they were purchased.

I'll go 1885-90 on this one. Just doesn't look especially old.

I agree with Barry on the timing.

Baseball team or early gang? :eek:
