1910 b-unc felts

Mike,

The date is an estimate based on player/team dates. Frank Ward had them as ca. 1912. The range is based on who was with what team.

• Lew Richie was with the Cubs 1910 to 1913.
• Buck Herzog was with the Giants 1908-09, '11-'13, and '16-'17.
• Bris Lord was with the As 1905-07 and 1910-12.

Certainly any player could have been shown with a former team, but based on this data I'd say that the best guess is 1911 or 1912.

As to these being cut from a larger piece, maybe a pennant, the material feels like that's a possibility, but I'm not aware of any larger pieces with an image like these.

Eddie Ainsmith's first year with Washington (and in the major leagues) was 1910, and he appeared in only 33 games. He appeared in 61 games in 1911 and again in 1912. So, I would think that 1911 is the earliest year, and 1912 perhaps more likely.
