OT, but......
Twenty page 1912 Pittsburgh Pirates scorecard (vs Cincinnati). One business advertising in the piece, A Mamaux and Son, is still in business. A picture of a player in an oval in the middle of every page outside the scorecard itself. The cover (complete with staples) and the first two pages are presented here: |

Cool piece Brian. Your reference to the business A. Mamaux & Son as still existing in business got me to wondering if Pirates pitcher Al Mamaux was a relative of that family--turns out he was the "son", or at least one of them. Didn't know if you knew that, but I'm always interested in learning about the guys in my favorite set, so thanks.

Thank you for solving that mystery for me because I didn't know if Al Mamaux was related to the business, but did know he was born in Pittsburgh. The piece predates his stint with the Pirates. |
