Thought I'd get a jump on April 1st. Foolish?
Picked up a two paper items referencing base ball in Toronto. One is an envelope addressed to "Manager Toronto Base Ball Club, International League" post stamped Aug, 1889. I assume that this would be intended for the Toronto Canucks, the team that pre-dated the Maple Leafs.
Second item, also from 1889, is a post card announcing the "Annual Dinner of the Financial and Legal Base Ball Club" of Toronto. At first I thought these were a pair but the postcard is also stamped and dated for Jan of 1889. Don't know anything about this team.
Nice early Toronto items.... And best of all, cheap! (listed in the stamp section of EBay)
