I would like to have a better exemplar before saying that I am sure about this, but it looks really good. Perhaps this will help the auction value for the card. Note that I did not find this guy, it was suggested to me by Pete Nash.
There is supposed to be a photo of Moolic in an 1886 team composite that may be more clear. Does anyone have the book, "A Cunning Kind of Play" by Warren Wilbert?

So was it Peter Nash or John Thorn who identified the photo as Moolic?
