not Fred Dunlap at Heritage

[prewarsports]

Not that it matters because the photo was clearly not Dunlap, but Fred Dunlap was a homeless vagrant for the last years of his life and certainly did not have a penny to spend on anything but alcohol after about 1895.

Wow - never knew that!

Barry--Are you sure they are trimmed? My sense is that they were just produced and cut this way. Pete Calderone says they are all the same size.

Barry--I've done a little research and I think you are right. Here is a site with images of some of the full cabinets. Click on the 1874 Philadelphia images and you can see the full cabinets

Jay- as we just discussed these are standard cabinets with the name of the photographer printed at the bottom. The ones in the auction have been significantly trimmed down. Perhaps Heritage was not aware of any original cabinets. Hopefully they will amend the description.

Well - thanks to a very astute reader of my newsletter, I now know who that guy is in the photo that started this thread.

He is a ballplayer. If Heritage wants to know, they can contact me.

Look at the eyes in the photos. It sucks because you would think Heritage who does more than just sports memorabilia would be on top of this!
