1860s Stereoview - Barry??? Corey????
Posted By: Dan Bretta
Anyone know what team this is and perhaps a reason why it went so high? Or maybe it went low considering the content?....Don't know but would appreciate any expert opinions. |

The larger oversized stereoview mounts usually date to the mid 1870's and you find a lot of centennial exposition photos on that larger format (taller than a normal stereoview) so I would place the age at about 1872 at the VERY earliest to about 1882 or so. The team is most likely not significant as it was a Vermont photographer and he mentions Vermont scenery in the photo. I cant think of a single prominant team from Vermont even in the pre-professional days. It is still a nice photo and a great early stereoview. I was watching it and was planning on bidding up to about $300 but not nearly at the level it ended at. It is a nice item though. |

That's an 1870's military team. The stripe on the side of the pants, kepis on their heads and the fellow at left is wearing double-breasted frock coat. I too am suprised at the price. |

I dont really think the buyer bought the piece because of it being Baseball. I think he bought the piece because of its link to the civil war. |

I'm not so sure about that Al....the winner (bdctiger) bids against me all the time on 19th century baseball photos. |

we all had the same idea. Despite being a creature of the 1950's I was able to google the photographer. With further research one could get more specific information as there is a register compiled of all such stereoviews that were produced IN SERIES by known photography studios (certainly incomplete but it's a start). I think of these people as mini Burdicks - compiling information selflessly in a quest to quantify a particular aspect of a hobby/love and making research easier for us all. Many specialty collectors in the genre and I feel this price anomally was due to a baseball interest. I used to collect baseball game in progress pre 1890 photos on a poor man's budget. I have not seen this image before but the uniform and kepi's belie it's generic content. I would guess the typical selling point of an image like this to be in the 200. and change range. DOUBTFUL that this was a civil war collector as there is a lack of worthy content. |

Most of the 1860s SV's have square corners. |

It's definitely post civil war (1865) per the military uniform style and the stereoview card style. |

It's a nice image, though as Barry said, too small to attempt an identification. As to the price, I don't think its that high considering the image as well as the possibility that it might be of a team (or contain a player) of some significance. |

I do have to agree with Rob "That's an 1870's military team" with a larger field in the background and the one building on the hill - and the look of the uniforms. Many baseball Steroviews show more people around and have different characteristics, this photo is very unique |

Hi Rhys- I'll ask my wife tonight if she can figure out what went wrong with the scan. Hopefully she will have some time, as I am computer semi-literate. |
