That cabinet is absolutely gorgeous Corey!

Is that a double page from the paper?

No, it is an actual photo taken by those large camera’s. It is attached to hardboard. There was an auction in Bay City Michigan Around 1980 at a Knights of Columbus hall. A 92 yr old man had this & 5 others. I purchased all 6 pieces. Now owned by my 3 children. When I moved to Florida 5 years ago, had no room fo them Joe

The other players are Cochrane, Jennings, Schoolboy Rowe, Heilman & Crawford. Just checked my Records bought in 1982. At the time these were 45 year old enlargements made by the late Bill Kuenzel of the Detroit News. So, they are now 83 years old. I saw the same photos at the Michigan HOF which was located at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Joe
