What composite is this from???1900???

[novakjr]

Just saw this on the bay, and while I'm not interested in the item for sale. It appears to be a snippet of a composite of some sort. I was wondering if anyone had some info on the original item? Or if the 1900 date is accurate...

I have the cabinet and it was dated 1903 when I bought it.

Eastern League composites were put out by a buffalo photographer by the name of Weasner for at least a few years. I've seen one for 1907 and one for 1909 I believe. A google search might lead to more. What years was he manager for Toronto? That should narrow the dates.

1900-1902 I believe.

1903 sounds about right.

Yeah, I noticed that it's the same photo you sold me, but without the rounding, and was hoping to at least pin it to his time in Toronto..and/or the original intentions of the photo. With a little more digging, Buffalo didn't join the eastern league until 1902, so 1902-1903 seems pretty accurate. Maybe shot in 1902, released in 1903.

Kenny pretty much one upped anything I was expecting, since he has the exact same photo..
