I imagine some of the 19th Century guys that had to wait so long would have been enshrined earlier (obviously) and some that have never made the Hall would have already been in there by the time 1936 rolled around.
Some likely early enshrinees that are yet to be inducted may have included:
-Ned Williamson (The 1894 Reach Guide cited a 9 person poll, and James Hart, Jim O'Rourke, & Arthur Irwin called Ned Williamson the games greatest player.)
-Charlie Bennett
-Herman Long
-Dummy Hoy
-Tony Mullane
-Al Reach
-Bill Lange
-Harry Stovey
-Ross Barnes
-Levi Meyerle
-Bob Caruthers
-Jim McCormick
-Will White (Deacon's brother)
-Bobby Mathews
-etc.
