Attic Find - Cabinet Photo of Great Grandfather...Looking for Additional Information

[commishbob]

I can't add any info but I wanted to say that having a baseball photo like this of your great-grandfather is just awesome. What a great gift!

Attic. Check box.

Where I live few people have attics. Hence there is never a cool discovery anywhere near me.

Nice piece.

I believe that millmen 423 maybe denotes the trade and local union in San Francisco they were members of.

That is great intel as my great grandfather lived on the West Coast.

I was googling some of the less common last names in the picture such Bemis and Elezalda.

Looks like there was a Harry Bemis playing for the Naps around the same time and a Elezalda who was on a team called the Pacifies. See link here: https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=LAH19000...-txIN--------1

Appreciate the help and any other info people can conjure up!

Best,

Taylor

Thanks for sharing Taylor. I was able to pick up this cabinet of my great grandfather Stephen Walling (top 2nd from the left) who played on the Phoenix Cheese Factory baseball team in South Edmeston, NY on eBay several years back.
