I picked up this trade card at the Valley Forge show yesterday. It's a stock card that printed the advertiser's information in the blank space between the bat and catcher's mask/bats. The card measures 4 3/8" X 7 3/8" and is printed on heavier stock. It was produced in 1886 by Ketterlinus Lithographers, one of Philadelphia's premier printers/lithographers of the late 19th/early 20th century. The baseball scene on this card was a stock depiction for Ketterlinus and is identified by the number 2217 beneath the ball.
Enjoy, Mike
