1870's baseball team cabinet--Team, Player I.D.?

A small suggestion for this. If you have a flat bed scanner I would try to scan this in grayscale. It will give you more of a black and white image which may help. Increasing the scanner image to 600 ppi or more and tweaking the contrast may also help.

Thanks, Michael, I tried to sharpen the image in whatever photo-shop I have on my laptop. The images on my screen are what I can see in person. The cabinet is about the size of an n173..If I come up with anymore info I will let y'all know. I need to stumble upon more information about the team or studio. Thanks, all...Rob

It seems that the photo in hand is just too blurry to be sure. I can't prove it's not him - that's all I can say.


It would help to know the team and if he was on it.

Thank you very much for chiming in, Mark. I guess this cabinet will remain a mystery for now. Maybe I can learn more in the future and report back. Here are more pictures from my scanner with higher settings, not really any sharper that I can see...Rob

See thread from this time last year. Perhaps some clues???

Thank you, Shawn, for finding that thread. This should help a lot. It's great that JC has the same cabinet...Rob

Do you have any evidence that shows Esterbrook ever played semi-pro ball in Brooklyn? Brooklyn would have still been considered it's own city at the time this photo was taken. Everything I read has Esterbrook being born in Staten Island and playing his professional ball in Manhattan.
