1916 New York Lincoln Giants Negro League Wallet Rare Find

I thought I would share this over here because I believe it is extremely rare and little is ever mentioned about the Tri-County league in the History of Negro league baseball. In fact, I do not believe I had ever read about it until now? Leon, I completely understand if you wish to move it to the "other side"

.

I just have to believe this is such an unusual item... The tintype of an African American woman stuck inside the wallet, conjures up so many questions of who, what, where etc. I have tried to do some online digging and below you will see some of the articles I have found. It seems the New Jersey Tri-County League was short lived. Dover hired the New York Lincoln Giants and competed against Newton, Morristown & Madison. Madison hired the Long Branch Cubans, Newton had the Degnon Grays and I am not sure about Morristown. With the likes of Cyclone Joe Williams & Cannonball Dick Redding on the Lincoln Team, the Giants easily won the title of Champion.

I would love to hear any input. Any others known?
