not Fred Dunlap at Heritage

[bmarlowe1]

In the Heritage November Signature Dallas auction, lot 81175, the Horner photo, below left, is claimed to be Fred Dunlap. Though it says so on a typed label on the back of the photo (along with some bio info), it isn't.

The real Fred Dunlap, along with his rather odd left ear, is below right. However, you should not need an ear comparison to see that these are two different humans.

Mark - as always, your contributions are appreciated.

Thanks Matt.

- 19thC man in street clothes
- not grouped with easily recognizable teammates
- identification handwritten (or in this case typed and pasted) on the front or back

Beware, these almost always seem to be bogus.


BTW - if they are interested in knowing who the uknown guy in lot 81181 is, they can contact me.

Didn't Fred Dunlap die before Horner starting taking Sports Photos anyways?

Carl Horner is noted for his photos Circa 1900 - whenever.

Fred Dunlap died in 1902.

My "Portrait of Baseball Photography" by Marshall Fogel is hiding somewhere in my house. That is a good source for that info. Goodwin pegs his BB photos from 1905-1910. In any case, I think the Heritage claim of c1890 is way too early for Horner BB photos.

The Pop Dillon Horner cabinet I owned showed him in a Tigers uniform, he played for Detroit in 1901 and most of 1902 before heading to Baltimore.
