Default What's your oldest baseball related item?
Posted By: barrysloate

Jason,
Could you post scans of the dag with child holding a ball, and the tintype you dated 1861? How are you dating these? 1861 is extremely early for both tintypes and CdV's; my experience is that they might be a few years later. Also, there has never been a dag found that shows someone holding a ball and bat, or in any baseball uniform whatsoever. A dag with a child holding a ball sounds pretty special. Thanks for your trouble. Sincerely, Barry Sloate
