Need Help Identifying this Horner photo
 

Posted By: <b>prewarsports</b><p>I just picked up 2 cabinet photos in Chicago and need help identifying one of them. I listed them both on ebay tonight but the one I am having a bit of trouble with is from the catalogued 1905-09 Horner cabinet set (page 174 of the 2004 standard catlog). It was told to me when I bought it that it was either Carl Lundgren or Ed Ruelbach. At first I thought it was Ed, but now I cant tell. I have searched through every known composite from the cubs and can match the uniform exactly but not the player. Since this is in the card catalog now I thought this might be of interest.<BR><BR>Thanks for any help<BR><BR><img src=http://members.aol.com/prewarsports/lundgren>

Posted By: <b>Kevin O</b><p>It's Rube Kroh. In most composites his hair is parted on the opposite side. It's a beautiful cabinet, and one I've never personally held. I have cabinets of Reulbach and Lundgren, but this is surely a much rarer pitcher. It would be remarkable if it were from 1908, as Kroh pitched but 12 innings that year--none in the Series.

Posted By: <b>prewarsports</b><p>I will add that to my item discription, thanks for the information. I think it is the first Cubs player to be found in this particular set of cabinets (at least from the 2004 guide) but I am not positive.<BR><BR>Rhys

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>What Horners does the current SCD catalog? Are they those larger printed examples with the black mounts, or does it include the smaller real photo cabinets?

Posted By: <b>slacks</b><p>What a great picture - thanks for posting it.<BR><BR>I like Kroh - he has a cool T206 where he looks kinda crafty, like he's going to let loose with a mean spitter.<BR><BR>Apparently he's not a big fan of ironing though...

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>Nobody was a big fan of ironing. I was going to say, that's a truly AMAZING photo. It' so clear and sharp! But I'd never seen a Horner photo before, and thought maybe they were all that way...so I didn't.

Posted By: <b>prewarsports</b><p>The new SCD (2004) lists cabinets from this particular set that mine is from in their new book. A few of the prices are from recent auctions while the $400 near mint price tag for commons is a bit off.

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>I'm not as knowedgeable about Horner pricing as Elliot and others, but I've never seen a Horner cabinet of a Major Leaguer that has Horner's name on the mount sell for less than $1,000.
