So glad you didn't go after the Des Moines cabinet. I am overjoyed to have picked it up for the price.
The grandstand photo is great. I have a Des Moines team photo from 1888 with the same grandstand image behind the team from the Boyd studio. Additional, there is a very ornate imperial cabinet from LaRoche with the same grandstand image. I have also seen on here a normal sized cabinet of the same LaRoche imperial. It would be nice to have all four someday but I doubt I will have to cash for the imperial.
