Date of this 1800s Baseball Tintype?
Ya'll did so good on the Ambro let's get some guesses on date of this young guy? I think he needs just a bit bigger bat though. I have my thoughts on the date....it is a sixth plate size at approx 2 x 3 1/2 inches

Couldn't give you a date Leon, but I think that's our own lovable board member Frank B in his youth!
I'm just teasing Frank... please don't kill me!!! 😁 |

1870 (ish). Cross dating the popularity of tintypes, with the onset and growing usage of two piece figure eight style balls (which is what I think the boy is holding).

Actually Leon it is CdV size. 1/6 plates are not as long. And it will be nearly impossible to find a case for it.
Very nice sharp image, looks a little later to me, maybe 1885. Since he is not wearing a uniform it's a little tougher to judge. |

I would say 1870s according to the style of bat in his hand and clothing

I'd say 1870s due to the very plain background. Backgrounds and props became more and more ornate and detailed in the 1880s-90s. If it was 1860s, he'd mostly likely have a stand to hold him still.

Leon with a magnifying glass can you tell if it's a lemon peel balll or a Figure 8
