1848 Baseball Daguerreotype on Mastro..
Posted By: barrysloate
Hi Jason- I kind of suspected that was your lot. First, thanks for clearing up that the one that I thought was an ambro is a tintype. That's something that you need to see in person. I think the dag of the child in the dress with the ball on the table is the plum of the group, and the image quality looks fine. But to call those cased images baseball is a very long stretch. If you've read David Block's book, amnog others, you know that children played countless games with balls and the chance of them playing baseball in 1848 at that age (that child looks to be about 4 years old) is highly unlikely. I still maintain any early image with a ball is terrific; calling it baseball is just wishful thinking. Nevertheless, good luck with the lot and you will probably get a bid on it from me.
