Hey Matt...
First, I think it is an M113.
I agree with you, Matt, that M113s aren't 24" x 16". I have 3 really large M113s, Hughie Jennings and Walter Johnson are 19" x 10", Tex Russell is 19" x 12". But I don't think that scan up there depicts something that is truly 24" x 16". If it is, the fellow holding it has 4 inch thumbs. And from the middle of his chest to the edge of the poster would be half the width... 12" from the middle of the chest to the edge?? 24" across excluding the arms??? No way...
So I think it is an M113. I think Toby needs to remeasure. Toby, do you actually have that? If you do, please remeasure. If you don't, ask whoever has it to remeasure.
Finally, I think the SCD may be a year or two off on the 1913 date that they've attributed to the Philadelphia Athletics team poster.
