Cool piece. I would be wary of the authenticity of it but still cool piece. Have never seen an OJ piece like that and the cropping to put it in a gutta percha tintype case like that is odd. Haven't seen many photos from that era cropped to that type of deal. I did have an orotone piece of a BB player in a similar case like that from the late 1860's/early 1870's that I sold years ago. Maybe someone more knowledgable than myself could chime in like Gary Passamonte (photos) or Jay Miller (OJ's). Still a neat piece..............
