Interesting Tintype Baseball Logo Photograph

[Directly]

Early Tintype baseball team Logo emblems comparison, similarities? thanks for looking

[Leon]

In my experiences, it is difficult to call a tintype a baseball player without equipment of some kind or some kind of iron clad provenance. The logo, if perfectly matched, could be I guess. Cool tintype. I think tintypes are undervalued or maybe I just like them a lot .

Thanks Leon for looking--Fireman are known to wear bib type logos but these fellows appear to be in baseball type uniforms. Again the logo is really what caught my attention--thanks!

It's funny that the two guys in the photo don't have the logo facing the same direction. I would guess one is sewn on upside down.

Now that's something I've never seen!

Flipping the photo horizontally shows the standing player with a bib logo that matches the sample emblem. Looks like the seated guy got his wrong.

One of them has his bib flipped upside down. Since it's a tintype, it's also a mirror image.

I definitely think they are baseball players although equipment in the photo would have helped solidify that call.

I don't think you could ever know what team they are with just from the image. Those types of uniforms were sold to all kinds of teams around the country through catalogues.

Nice tintype!

My guess is that they're both D's, not C's. There is an additional thin line going up and down the stylized C does not have.

Here is a bigger version of the mirror of your tintype like Bob showed above. After doing some web searching, I think it's a letter C.

Maybe they are brothers which could explain the logo fiasco mystery as a joke?

Thanks again for looking--
