Any chance the middle initial is an L and not an S? On its own, it seems like an S. But compared to the S in the last name and in 'Sincerely' it looks more like an L.
Not that it would solve the ID, but just pointing it out......

No I think the "S" in sincerely is very close to the "S" in the last name. I think it is an "S". The last name "S" just loops up a little further than in sincerely. I think just from writing a bit quick.

I'm leaning towards thinking that last name may be "Shafer". From Princeton maybe?
Since the address on the back doesn't list the city, while the listings of locations is missing the address for the Atlantic City, NJ location.. Maybe those two go together... That would lead me to think Princeton. Last edited by novakjr; 10-18-2011 at 08:57 PM.

Don't think it was Princeton.

I think that this photo was taken in Philadelphia.
There was a photo studio at this address in 1899 in the city of Philadelphia. I believe that address sets alone to show where it was taken.

There's a picture of the Penn University 1899 varsity baseball team at the link below. One of the players is:

He was a right handed pitcher.
This was definitely CM Gilbert or a studio he owned. Then I wonder about this dot. Does this dot make it SH"I"... So my gut tells me that maybe this picture was given by someone to someone and the player was not involved. Maybe it was given by HS Shipeo or Shaped or something. So I am trying to match this face with Phillies pictures from 1899. Closest I can see is possibly Bill Bernhard. But that is a stretch.
