It was listed for less than 24 hours. There was an error in the listing so she ended it :-)

Sorry. Stagg, Stagg, Stagg! Typing too fast.

Thanks.

Picked up a really nice 1889 Pach Bros Yale yearbook. My favorite Yale football team was the 1888 squad with five College Hofers and Walter Camp's first year coaching (although many argue that Mrs. Camp did most of the work). Here are a few senior pics from the yearbook.

Fantastic pickup, Mark! Those are really nice. Can you post a picture of the album?

Thanks Jeff. My wife didn't take a photo of the cover but it was a BIN on Ebay. I got a couple requests for the other team photos.

Glad you got that Mark - really great photos - sent me right to eBay and saw another, older Yale book by Pach, but no sports photos - I wonder if they customized which photos went in the book for the buyer.

I think they were Mike. There was a wonderful 1889 Yale SSS yearbook that was auctioned in Feb 2013 (see link below). It contains completely different sports photos despite being from the same year. I wonder how much Pach Bros charged back then?

They were a great studio - I bet somewhere out there is a catalog or price list. I especially like this Pach Bros. albumin print I bought of Jarvis Field
