Question about Old Picture + Lefty Grove Photo with Car....
I picked up a couple pictures recently that I am excited to have....
The first picture is a baseball team. The picture (which I think you would call a cabinet photo -- correct me if I'm wrong) originated from Lonaconing, MD -- the small town where Lefty Grove and I both grew up (albeit at different times....). I have asked people in town to try to help me identify some of the players on the team, which might help narrow down the date of the photo. Notice the "L" on the uniform of the guy second from left. I am guessing that the "L" stands for "Lonaconing", but I really have no way of knowing for sure. I don't know why only one uniform would have an "L". Perhaps he was a player/manager? I am guessing that the photo was taken around 1900. Can any of you "equipment experts" help refine the date for me? Regardless of the date, I just love this picture. It is really cool!  The second picture that I picked up is a picture of Lefty Grove with a Nash Sedan. It is a great picture! I haven't done the research to refine the date of the photo, but I am guessing it was taken around 1929 or 1930 in Philadelphia. The photo is just absolutely stunning!

The top photo I would say is circa 1908-15..the guy wearing the different uniform probably played for a different team, but may have been filling in that day. And I don't know my automobiles well enough to tell you a date on the Lefty photo..if you hi-res scan the license plate you may be able to find the exact year.

Here's a blow-up of the license plate....
 The link below shows license plates from Maryland....  The 1927 and 1929 are similar... Based on my high res scan above, it looks more like a 1929 than a 1927. The question is, did they change license plates every year back then, or were they able to keep a given license plate for several years?

Looks like a 1929..and yes, you got a new plate every year.
