From the uniforms, it might be 1910s. The uniforms look older than
1920s and I think I see sock stirrups on the catcher, which were
first used in the 1910s. As Lord & Taylor was a department store
that sold boy's baseball clothes, I would assume the clothes depicted
on the stamp would be up to date for the period-- meaning, it's not a 1950s
stamp that shows uniforms from earlier decades. No 1950s kid be attracted
to an ad for clothes that his grandpa wore. Lord & Taylor was in the business
of offering the latest and newest to the public ... Also Lord & Taylor has
been in New York City since the 1800s, so the company itself was around
back then.
