Id pass. The even rounding corners on both cabinets is not good. Then the white showing on the bottom left side on the card(left side) would scare me away. My guess is there is another exact cabinet with same image out there that is larger in size and you are looking at a smaller version which is more modern. What size are the cards you are looking at?

They eerily resemble these two images that were recently posted to ebay out of the UK...marked in exactly the same manner...they make me squeamish.

Agree, your 1880s cabinets are good for comparison, though the mounts on 1870s cabinets may be thinner. They were made with the same albumen photographic process.
If it's a reprint, the images are more than likely digital prints and will have a multi-color dot pattern under strong magnification. Real photo images were made by chemical reaction under light and so have no printed pattern. A dot pattern is a givewaway that they're fake. As mentioned, the photographic prints were on very thin paper pasted to the mounts-- and not printed directly onto them. Same as with the cabinets you have (use them as reference) The real photographic prints would have a different gloss than the mount, and the 1800s images often have a gloss to them. Use a blacklight if you have one. Will identify many modern reprints right away, as blacklight identifies much modern paper and cardstock. Last edited by drcy; 01-11-2018 at 10:02 PM.

Thanks David & Drcy
I have asked for high resolution front and back scans. I now seriously doubt the are original prints now. Still, I am hopeful the scans reveal the same backing was used showing the studio. I also want to compare the writings on each verses the Spalding collection images. Could it be possible that the studio made multiple copies? The seller has other items I was interested in. Here are those images. Any thoughts on these? Last edited by chlankf; 01-12-2018 at 07:08 AM. Reason: added additional images

Yes, there are multiple copies of this issue of cabinets that are known and possible. I believe done prior to the world tour of 1874.
It is highly unlikely these are among them. Reread post 11. Putting aside the handwriting issue, note the differences, especially color, clarity and most Importantly it is obvious the Spalding collection copies are real photos, not printed as has been mentioned by prior posters, one of whom actually wrote the article you cited in your first post. Be very careful.

Not sure of exact size yet. Am heading out of town and will be stopping by to see than in person. I have a few 1888 team cabinets and N173s but that is as old as my collection goes.
What things could I look for other than what is mentioned above? What would I be looking for with a loop, I'll take mine with me?
