Default Recent 1891 Football CDV pickup
Posted By: Keith

I picked up this CDV recently on ebay and figured I would share. It is an 1891 Trinity College CDV showing 2 players holding a football. The back has the 2 players ID'd and 1 of the players signed the bottom with an inscription. The inscription is my favorite part as it reads: Presented to Miss Edith Ward from her latest conquest, the freshman Richard Harry Mccauley. So I guess this was the 19th century version of giving your girlfriend your lettered jacket/sweater.
