Let's discuss the 1910 H801-7 Old Mill Cabinet. Show 'em if you got 'em.

Patrick--

Thanks for showing the Woolums OM cabinet. And, JC, good to see you posting.

I think there is a practical reason for Woolums being presented in vertical instead of horizontal orientation--the frame around T210s often did not allow for full images. A simple example is Simmons (see below). In his T209 card, the ball is about a foot in front of his glove. In his T210 card, the ball has been moved next to his glove. Why the move? The ball would have been out of the frame if the original shot had been retained. Old Mill made these changes frequently and they were done to accommodate the size of the area in which an image was presented. It's another reason I like T209s so much--bigger images, especially of players in stadium poses (my faves), and b/w photographs. That being said, I also love T210s.

Cheers, Mike

PS--If you'd like to see all 43 examples of player poses shared by T209 and T210, you can follow this link to my t209-contentnea.com website:

It would be interesting to discover how many of the shared poses were used as H801-7 cabinets.

Cheers, Mike

What's puzzling is that a horizontal pose was issued in the T210 set in Series #3 with the Morris T210, so why did they choose to issue the Woolum in a vertical orientation rather than in a horizontal orientation?

It has also been noted that the Woolum OMC is perhaps the most common card in the set. At least 3 exist..probably more. Perhaps they survived because of the popularity of the unigue horizontal layout.

Some threads make the grade, others are filler but can be fun. This one is great. Thanks again to those who shared.

As I mentioned previously, the images used in the Old Mill Cabinets are pulled from only Series #2, #5, and #7 in the T210 set.

In addition, T211 Red Sun cards use only Series #8 T210 images. Add in the T209-2 set, and the many similar photos used in that set, and we can get a good feel for what minor league baseball was like in 1910 era.

Both national and regional tobacco companies using ball players images to stimulate cigarette sales.
