Where would one go to find a baseball uniform for a child? None of the catalogs advertise them, so based on that and the lack of a ball and bat, I don't think it's baseball. It looks civil war era, so it might be some kind of junior military uniform (not that a four year old would enlist). Also, is the mount cut that way, with four sharp corners, or is that your cropping? I would guess the image is mid to late 60's and not baseball. But very attractive nonetheless. Children photograph well and dags of children always bring a premium, particularly wearing a uniform.
