Circa early 1890s tintype of Cy Young
This is a fantastic piece from my father's collection. He purchased it from Leland's in 1989, and he has a letter from Joshua Evans explaining the provenance of the piece from the Young family to a nurse who took care of Cy in his last year.
This is a tintype of very young Young. While there is no uniform or equipment visible, this was obviously taken during his playing years. We think early 1890s, but would love to hear thoughts. Also, is there anyone who authenticates/encapsulates this type of thing? If my father wanted to sell (which I don't believe that he does), what would be the recommended venue? Any and all comments and discussion welcomed.
