Any way you can post better scans? I would love to read the docs but can hardly make things out in your pics. Thanks

If anyone wants to send me their email address I’ll be happy to send them. They’re as clear as day haha

Great thread - Ted, thanks for starting it. He's my favorite 19th century HOFer.

I'd like to show cabinet photos of a few family members including one of Big Ed in uniform.

You'll see on the backs the family are identified. Tom, Bridget Delahanty - the matriarch, Kate, their sister and Big Ed. (ETA: I see the back of Tom is tough to see - but it is labeled Tom Delahanty)

What's cool to me is that the address on the back of Ed's cabinet says 'Return to W.J Delahanty 3001 Payne Ave." If you see the info I attach from a 1924 directory of Cleveland - you'll see that address listed next to Joseph who owned the family saloon on that site with brother Tom. So I would say all these were owned by the family who were from Cleveland. Hope you like.

I just finished the court docs - what a great read!! He went down Niagara Falls!! I wonder if they ever later interviewed the railway man who fought with Delahanty on the Bridge. I wonder how baseball would have been changed had Ed made it to NY and played for Mack

Here's Bid Ed, c1888.

Interestingly, this image is the same that was used on the Type 1 W600 posted by Chris. For some reason, I always associate Carl Horner with the photographs used in the W600 "set". I guess this is one of the exceptions...

That Delahanty cabinet of yours is the coolest item I have ever seen that depicts Big Ed - amazing piece!

Derek - I thought Ed looked awfully young on my W600 - great card!

Thanks Chris!

I am now even more in love with your W600 given that it shows an early (earliest) image of Delahanty. So cool!

Now I need to study those other W600s (especially Type Is) too to see what other early images might be on those.
