Need a lil' team ID help

Washington, Iowa was never in any minor league. It's just a well dressed town team.

Thanks Dan. Well dressed they are. The players coats and medical bag sitting between the middle players legs, bottom row gives the photo a nice touch.

Just had a thought...when did it become the fashion for people to smile in photos? We all have heard "smile" or "say cheese" but many of the early baseball photos I have seen rarely have the player(s) smiling. Just musing...

Nice postcards though!!

Joshua that's a good point. In all older photo's, cabinets, etc, baseball related or not you saw very few smiles if any. Maybe everyone just had bad teeth.

Exposure time for a photo was a bit longer for early photography. Ever notice 19th century photos with an animal where it looks like a blur but everything else in the photo is sharp? Easier to have a relaxed face instead of smiling.
