Tintype Questions and Show Your Own

Only a very small percentage of baseball tintypes have known people, so nothing unusual or errant having anonymous people.

Thank you everyone! I bought it because I love the image, but it is always good to check to see if there is anyone recognizable.

Happy to see another 19th C. thread started. I'll dig up some more pics of our tintypes, but here is one to get it re-started. Its a double image including an action shot...very nice case with intact clasp.

Here is a boxed tintype of a c. 1870's pitcher holding a ball...the bib front shirt, patterned socks, and baseball spikes make for a really great uniform study.

This is an image I've had since the age of 12...so, 30 years now! Found it at the defunct Great American Paper Chase Show that was held annually at a college in NJ.

Great team (well, almost) image reflecting uniforms, caps, and equipment.

Great image of two c. 1860s players that has been hand colored/tinted.

This is one of my favorites in the collection...just a great c. 1860s image of two finely dressed, seated/posed players with their bats.
