c1880's Composite Cabinet Card
Hi. Posting this c1880's composite cabinet card to see if anyone recognizes the baseball bats scene. I can place some of the other images to trade cards, however I can't find any card or publication using the baseball image. Thanks in advance for taking a look.

This looks like an order form to me. Can you post the others that you have located? Maybe there will be a clue.

Looks almost like a game card like a memory matching game, flash cards or something

Appreciate the feedback. I actually have 5 composite cards that I picked-up as a group. The images I have matched are from the other cards. Most are famous performers like Lillian Russell and Lillie Langtry. Their images match tobacco or cabinet cards of the period. A couple other images match to tobacco trade cards. Only one of the composite cards has a printed backside. See below.

"Our knives" maybe they were to be transfers onto cutlery handles?
Although that third one has some unclothed ladies, so not sure how many women would want to transfer them onto their serving pieces.

The piece is 140 years old and the only thing I care about is getting a better view of those naked ladies. God, I suck.

Bumping this thread one last time. I've had a chance to do a bit more research on composite cards. My learnings below and a bonus for Darren.
Photographers did sell celebrity souvenir cabinet cards for theatre performers. Composite cards these were used for order-by-number purposes. Example below. I have also attached a side-by-side of one of the of the tobacco trade cards I matched to. Apparently a knife company also found a way to transfer an image onto their products. If you were a baseball fan, you'd order #132 and have that awesome image on your c1880's pocketknife. Very cool! Finally, Darren here's the full size image of the card for you. Sorry for the wait.
