Hi glen...Congratulations on your handsome purchase....they look individualistic and may very well have been intended to represent two specific players...but I haven't studied 19th century in many years...and don't have an encyclopedic recall of 19th century players faces...plus going from a photo without examining in person...But from a practical point of view...both players are rendered in different uniforms...and faces are different

What I caught was the pants are below the knee...kind of ruling out being from the 1860s...not cinched at the ankles...though the one on the right seems to have kind of an 1860 style cap...

What we need in this thread is a photo....so I'm including one...hope you don't mind...

So what's your take...what famous players did bidders overlook that you scored...
