Help Identifying Issue
I bought this cabinet photo recently. It measures 5.5 x 8.25, and came in a fancy glassine sleeve with an embossed paper cover. Looks like a Detroit player? Any help most appreciated.

I'd guess Heinie Beckendorf... but I lack the photographic expertise, and the ear analysis, both of which are necessary to say for sure. In a while the ear experts will chime in. Nice cabinet.

easy question...
I am sure you would have said but I have to ask, is there any company name on the embossing or the back of the cabinet? From the scan it just looks like a very nice generic cabinet. Great photo too...

While Beckendorf was a catcher I don't think it's him.
Compare: http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...eckehe01.shtml Don't think this Beckendorf Dietsche adds anything to the question but...

Cabinet photo
Thanks for the input thus far. I couldn't find any writing on the back or the cover. The embossing is a generic-looking coat of arms on the cover.
I found one other photo of Beckendorf: http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...eckehe01.shtml Anybody else think it is him? He played a few games for Detroit in 1909-1910.

It for sure is not Beckendorf - see comparison to 3 photos of Beckendorf below on right. Also - the Det AL uniform for his time period should have a dark collar. Also - the "D" is actually a bit different than the one in the Dietsche photo that Steve Murray posted.
