In fact I don't recall seeing anything that early in glass but I'm open to being reminded

Josh,
Not sure if you meant baseball or ANY glass plates but either way:

The wet plate negative was in use from the early 1850s until the late 1880s, before being almost completely replaced by the more convenient dry plate negative process.

Hope that helps a little.
