Tim,

Your Cross is listed in the Standard Catalog under the letter "A" for "Anonymous Cabinets." (I think Lemke could have been more clever with naming these). They were produced in approximately 1904 and are very nice. I owned the Jimmy Collins once and traded it for a T5 Pinkerton of Joe McCarthy as a minor leaguer, which should give you some idea as to their value. Frank Ward had a McGinnitty a few years ago. I've seen maybe one or two others over the years. They are tough.

As far as I know, no one knows how they were distributed or who the photographer was.
