Yet another quandry is that the Horner uniform W600 is on a later mount than the Suit pose. Anyone confused yet

I have no idea who might have taken the image.

I once owned a Sporting News Premium of the A's that used the same images as the Lincoln Pubs, it was from 1902 if I recall correctly.

Did a little research this afternoon and I believe the photographer of the Bender (and all the LP's) was MacIntire Studios of Philadelphia. Think they all came from the same photo session, here's the original photo of Mack...

and the LP Mack...



Sorry to go OT, just thought it was interesting.

Sadly I used to own that Mack cabinet and let it go... for what reason I can't grasp.

However the Mack image on his W600's do not match the Lincoln PC ???

So,, I did some comparing, Only Bender, Henley, Murphy, Plank and Powers use the same image on the Lincoln as on their W600 counterpart. So MacIntire may have done all of the photos for the Lincoln issue, but not the W600 A's
