Anyone Recognize Player In This Cabinet?
 
Posted By: <b>Addie_Joss</b><p><img src="http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m294/madjams/cabinet.jpg"><br />Back is blank. Said to be from the 1880s. Unfortunately no team or city information but thought maybe someone with a sharp eye would be able to name him.

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Here goes my best guess..if I get this right then I need to buy a lottery ticket. <br /><br />Just from the looks....his name is Henry Joe Blackenfoot and he was in a traveling circus that wandered the land from the Ozarks out to the Grand Canyon, as he performed death-defying tricks with wild broncos. He is dressed in his usual "circus" attire which admittedly even back then looked sort of "goofballish". Although he was a fine "bronco trick guy" he never made the "big time"...not with the circus...or with any baseball team. Whew.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>The cabinet is late 1880s-1890s. My guess is that he's not wearing a baseball uniform.
