ID Help - Anyone ever seen one of these?

As I posted in another thread, I believe that these were meant to work with stands and that is why there is damage on the bottom. When I purchased mine over 10 years ago they came with the wooden stands shown below.

This is great, now there are examples from the Pittsburg club. All of the examples I've ever seen are either from the Phila. A's or the Chicago Cubs.

Thanks for posting the cards and their wooden stands. I think the stands and the bottom damage on each of the known cards, in conjuction with the 1 of 1 known of each card bolsters the argument that these were playing pieces for an unpublished game.

So I'm assuming Willetts is Ed Willett from the Detroit team and Adams is Babe Adams from Pittsburg. So we have four teams represented now. Has anyone else ever seen another example of a Detroit or Pittsburg player?
