[baseball tourist]

My lovely wife and I just "inherited" a trunk full of old paper keepsakes from NY state...all the contents dating from the 1850's to approx. 1913. Hundreds of pieces, mostly theater programs and World's Fair/Expo guides, maps and loose paper clippings etc. Very little sports and almost no baseball (perhaps 3 items in all mention the game)...and after 5 hours of rummaging through it I came across an almost identical Prospect Park booklet, also from 1894, but a different printing as it includes a schedule of August 4th-10th games. No baseball images in this one either, but the condition looks to be good. Sorry about the pics (cell phone).

This will be made available for sale shortly with several hundred other pieces of old paper. While no other baseball items to mention, there is an 1883 Brooklyn Bridge opening event invitation and program, a Lincoln campaign broadside, etc.
