This one isn't a barnstorming team but what an early postcard image. Very rough shape but you take what you can!
Outstanding, that is a rare one! X R? Maybe a railroad company team? Agree its a keeper!!

Dunno if this has any relevance:



It's a military team around 1940. The name "Brown Bombers" may be a reference to Alabama native Joe Louis (one of his nicknames was "The Brown Bomber") or a reference to air force bombers? I have no idea. I just thought it was a cool photo.

This is cool! I think Joe sponsored some wartime leagues USO leagues, its possible this could be connected, maybe even a semi pro or youth league. Never seen one of these before, thank you!
