Horner Cabinets

[packs]

I'm not so sure that was the one that was cut up. When I bought my Beville, there was a seller on eBay, their user name had something to do with Canada from what I remember, who somehow had access to dozens of these photos from all different teams. I remember I also purchased a Howell from the NY Cabinet that I later sold as a companion to my Beville.

There must have been multiples of the composites out in the world and this person either got one for themselves or acquired the photos already cut up. But I doubt very much they purchased that example because the auctions were vaguely titled and difficult to find.

Should also add that I say that because I do remember a Plank being on eBay. though I'm not sure it was the Plank in this thread.

This same seller had also somehow acquired dozens of baseballs from the Rube Walberg estate. I purchase mine from them around the same time I bought my Beville and Howell Horner cut outs from them. Many of these Walberg win baseballs have hit the market since. This was quite a while ago:

I hate pimping out a photo I have on the BST in the T206 section, but here’s my only Horner.

Mine has a number on it, similar to other examples shared in this thread. Is this also some sort of cut-out of a composite or was this used in producing some other piece? Genuinely curious.

This image was used a few times, including his 1906 Fan Craze and his T206 portrait. Horner was a magnificent photographer!!

The oval images with numerals are all cut from larger composites. They are Horner "images" but not Horner "cabinets". The square image posted appears to have a handwritten numeral and "may" be an image peeled from its host cabinet, which was often done by publications that used the image for printing purposes and storage of the photo rather than leaving it on the bulky cabinet.

One more for the thread...
