Arslonga made an art card from this cabinet. I don't know if they made it from the one I have, or if there are other cabs out there like this one. Arslonga says they have released/sold 7 of their Bond cards. I don't have one, but would like to own one.
Charles Webster Jeffery was a Boston photographer who produced cabinets of the Boston team in 1878. A group of these turned up in the 1980s, many of them misidentified on back, causing some confusion about the date they were issued. Bond, Burdock, Manning, Morrill, O'Rourke, Schaefer and Sutton were included as well as, I believe, George Wright. Another Bond, perhaps yours, came from the Bond estate.
