OT: Help with Identifying New Jersey Baseball Team?
I posted this in the pick-up thread on the other side and have since tried to figure out what team this may be. The sign reads "Lyceum F.C. Perth Amboy N.J.". Any ideas on what the "FC" stands for? I would think the "C" is college but again I am having trouble with this other than Fordham College and that doesn't seem to make sense??
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |

I found this 1927 article referring to this team "Perth Amboy Lyceum" as a semi-professional ball team. Interestingly it refers to Ed Brown manager as "popular sports leader", any guess as to who this is? Any ideas as to the date of the Cabinet Photo?
Thanks Shawn |

Probably a school team...on the steps of a building is almost always a high school or college team. In this case I would guess High School. I saw something on the google that "Lyceum FC" was a German club.

Question for the bat guys?
Thanks Dan,
Upon closer inspection I can see "1906" written on the back?? Also, I looked through a Loupe and could see "Spalding" written on the bat and what appears to be the words or word "Gold Mean" underneath the word Spalding??? It is very hard to make out what the second phrase is... Thats my best guess, I figured that might be enough for a "bat" guy to translate. 11 names on the back but I can only make out 7 for sure. O'hara ??? Golden ?? Deegan ?? Dwyer Yank O'mara Dahl Carroll Wagner Antonides Last edited by smokelessjoe; 05-04-2009 at 07:46 PM. Reason: added a name |

Deegan makes sense - they are an old Amboy family. The FC may be a "fraternal club" that hosted the team. Great photo. Too bad there isn't more of the building showing. Enjoy

Probably says "Gold Medal".
