I am by no means an expert on baseball games from this, or any other period...I figured I'd just put together the known info on a piece that has no markings and no known prior documentation. The style, material/construction and imagery, along with an expert opinion on the design layout (the only real clue for this piece) led to my optimistic surmise. I'd absolutely love to nail it down and hope that as a group we'll be able to do just that. Thanks to all of you for the help and interest!
Oh, and the uni style of the player on the National Base Ball Game box would lead one to believe 1880s-1890s timeframe...BUT, given the discussion, I imagine its of 20th C. origins.
