PaulI sure could use some help from the Board on this one. I got this awhile ago from a fellow board member. It's cabinet style, but about the size of a postcard. The back says Amos Rusie in pencil. It was obtained from a scrapbook that had turn of the century Reds items. Our resident photography expert examined it and concluded it was made using a mass-production technique used at the turn of the century.
I have desperately tried to confirm that this is in fact Rusie from his very short stint with the Reds. I asked the HOF for any pictures of Rusie with the Reds. They have none. I did find one picture of Rusie in a book that I have and the face looks similar to this photo. Any thoughts?
