Thanks Carlton! Your football box looks great! It looks like these two were made by the same company, based on the scene and colors used. Do you know an approximate date of issue for your box? Based on my quick research thus far (based on the lack of backboard and the peach basket) it appears mine dates to ca. 1896. I am also curious if this is the earliest art depction of a basketball game? I also wonder what the earliest (non Naismith related) basketball artifacts exist today? Any other information folks could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alan
