I believe Victor Sporting Goods was located in New England. That may have some bearing on this being for a team in the area.

Thats a beautiful uniform. Have you tried searching in old spalding guides? I know they show photos of many teams in them - not just the major league squads. If you google loc.gov and spalding guides, you can view page by page many of the spalding guides online. They don't have them all digitalized, but there is a nice assortment of years.

from looking at Spalding guides

1906 Portsmouth, Va.--just a P on the uniform
1908 Portsmouth, Va.--P on uniform
1920 Portsmouth, Va--no lettering
1921 Portsmouth, Va--Truckers across uniform

1908 Portsmouth, Ohio--had jackets on
1910 Portsmouth, Ohio--nothing on front of uniform
1911 Portsmouth, Ohio---P on uniform
1912 Portsmouth, Ohio--P on uniform
1915 Portsmouth, Ohio--in street clothes

no other pictures of the teams in the guides to 1930.

If you go to Google Books Search and type in Portsmouth baseball, there's a book about the Va. team and photos you can look at. nothing that looks like your uniform..

Thanks Don, for looking those up. I have a 1909, 1912 and 1915 Reach Guides I'm pulling out tomorrow and going through. Did an internet search on Rhode Island and NH...no teams that I could find.The Victor Sporting Goods Logo on the uniform is definitely pre 1918, so that narrows it, because of the cut and style of the uniform, I believe it falls in the 1908-1917 time frame at the very latest. And based on major league teams that used this vertical lettering, I'd say 1909 to 1912...but who knows?
I'll keep searching and I really appreciate everyone's help and suggestions, Mike
