Default Baseball tin type question

Posted By: Jimmy

Alan,

I have sold similar items in the past and player is most likely from a club team from a larger city or large town. The picture is most likely from the 1870s or 1880s as the uniform style is similar to others I have seen from town and city teams. The added background seems to be like many tintypes from the 1880s, and agree with the above, but could be earlier. The value depending on interest would be 300.00-500.00 and I certainly would have paid what the buyer paid even maybe a bit more.

Take Care

Jimmy
