Hi, I've been casually collecting tintypes for the past few years and have been particularly interested in acquiring those depicting different #'s of players. I have a few which are definitively baseball and others which are certainly a sport of some type although not as clear cut.
I picked up this one recently because it was very interesting imo. I have not seen many tintypes which have a 'team' of 6. The individual standing in the back right is clearly holding a ball of some type and there looks to be an object on the right hand side which is either an over-sized bat or part of the frame that surrounds them. There's a knob on the right hand side object although I'm leaning towards it being part of the wooden frame.
Any thoughts on dates and sport would be greatly appreciated. It looks like 1870's to me and either baseball or cricket.
I'm happy with this item regardless as it aligns with my progression on # of players....just need 4 and 5 subjects now
