California Photographer CDV - Late 1870s?

According to this website in the late 1870's/early 1880's, the photographer for MH Grant studios in Eureka, California was Amassa Flaglor.

Here's Flaglor bio:

Seems Flaglor was in Eureka 1871-1880, then moved to San Francisco. Don't find any record of MH Grant studios after 1882 in Eureka. But records are incomplete.

c1880 is probably as good as you can get...could certainly be late 1870s, but almost certainly is not later than 1885. I have had photos of players in bib uniforms as late as the 1890s, but this certainly looks circa 1880.

Went to Library of Congress Newspaper Archives and searched "Eureka Baseball", years 1875-1885. There are seven articles on the Eureka Baseball Club, all from a Sacramento paper, all in 1883:

Strange there were no articles pre-1883, but Dan's right ca. 1880 is probably as close as possible. It's a great looking image. Hope that helps, enjoy the rest of National Love Your Pet Day.
