Back is blank. Said to be from the 1880s. Unfortunately no team or city information but thought maybe someone with a sharp eye would be able to name him.

Chance of identifying him is slim to none.

If you don't know, then it's usually Joe Jackson.

Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner or Joe Jackson.....honestly, the guy does look sort of familiar.....I doubt we will get it though...

Here goes my best guess..if I get this right then I need to buy a lottery ticket.

Just from the looks....his name is Henry Joe Blackenfoot and he was in a traveling circus that wandered the land from the Ozarks out to the Grand Canyon, as he performed death-defying tricks with wild broncos. He is dressed in his usual "circus" attire which admittedly even back then looked sort of "goofballish". Although he was a fine "bronco trick guy" he never made the "big time"...not with the circus...or with any baseball team. Whew.

The cabinet is late 1880s-1890s. My guess is that he's not wearing a baseball uniform.
