1) SOLD


2) Larry Doyle (NY Giants), 1912. Type 1, Brown Bros. Photo. Easily one of Doyle's best photos, from his MVP year. Wiltse is a bonus! $285

Size is 4-5/8" x 6-3/4"

Condition: Minor edge wear. Reverse has some light surface paper loss around what's left of the original Brown Bros. stamp (Culver Pictures or Sy Seidman tried to obliterate the stamp).





---------------

3) John Knight (NY Highlanders) and Donie Bush (Detroit Tigers), 1910. Should be a Type 1, but not 100% sure. Interesting photo. Knight and Bush were likely photographed together as Knight was the tallest player in the league and Bush was the shortest. Note "Filed before 1919" stamp on reverse. $165

Size is approximately 8" x 8-1/2"

Condition: Slight waviness at edges. Blacks in print are heavily silvered. This photo looks much better in hand than it does scanned.




--------------------------

4) Mike Donlin and Johnny Evers, 1919. Type 1, Bain Photo. Photo taken at the Polo Grounds in April of 1919 for an Actor's Fund Benefit game. Donlin was leading a team and Evers was an umpire. $165

Size: 4" x 5-3/4" (likely slight trim at bottom)

Condition: Small areas of black editorial paint on the dark areas around the collar of Donlin's sweater, and up in the dark area at the top of the photo. Otherwise, just a couple of light wrinkles.




------------------------

Size is 6-1/2" x 8-1/2"

Condition: Bite out of the lower left border, otherwise good.

-------------------

8) Leon "Red" Ames (NY Giants), 1904-1905 image, but the print is 1909-1914. Type 2 or 3 designation. The International News Service stamp is 100% pre-1915. Great photo, unusual action close-up, and a nice shot of Ames' tiny mitt. SOLD

Size is 6-1/2" x 8-1/2"

Condition: General edge wear. Couple of bends at corners, and a chip at the bottom left edge.
