Mark... or whoever else might be able to answer.
I recently acquired the following jersey from ebay...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&it em=180337635061
It's a beauty, and is modeled after perhaps my favorite jersey of all-time (1920s Philadelphia Athletics). It appears to be authentic and unaltered, and the Rawlings neck tag is definitely circa 1940s.
My questions is whether this is indeed a 1947 Lincoln Athletics Uniform. A google search did verify the fact that Lincoln was an Athletics minor league affiliate in 1947, and the seller had a decent accounting of how he acqiuired the jersey.
I just cannot find any photo or image of the Lincoln, NE team wearing these "elephant" jerseys. Any info, photos or images you can post would be much appreciated... thanks!
