1918 Company? Team photo help
 

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Hello, <br /><br />I recently came across this photo at an estate auction. The photo is in pretty bad shape with a large crease running vertically that breaks through the photo and backing in some areas.<br /><br />I wanted to get some opinions as to what type of team could be. None of them are wearing obvious uniforms. I can only make out a couple of them wearing gloves. My thought was that this could be a company team. Did large companies field teams in the early 1900s? The equivalent of a modern day company softball team?<br /><br />On the photo there is blue ink arrow pointing to one person.<br /><br />On the back is written (at least I think it says the following):<br />Arrow shows<br />Frank Engle Pattirson Lind Reeves<br />approx 1918<br />Westinghouse<br /><br />Is Westinghouse a city anywhere?<br />Or could this be a Westinghouse Electric company team?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1132507716.JPG"> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1132507738.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>From close inspection, it looks more like a doll, but definetly could be a baby. Either way, a little strange.
