That is a neat mammoth plate you have there. Very cool looking. But better than that "Congratulations" on figuring out how to post pics. You are really becoming one of us...be careful you might get the nickname "armpit" ....take care and let me know if I can ever help you again.....and to everyone that wants to post pics remember; when using the board temporary files scan : |

Gorgeous image, Corey. Those are the kind of photo tones you want on a 19th century baseball photograph. |

That is a great item Corey! It looks to be the exact same image that was used to make this pin I have. |

Joe- you are correct. Notice on the pin they airbrushed out the curtain and mirror in the background. Also, I've had that pin several times and never saw the little dog in the front. |

Corey what is the size of a mammoth plate photo? |

Mammoth plates vary in size. The smallest would be the next size up from the largest imperial cabinet size (typically around 8" x 10"). So if a photo say is 9" x 12", I would call it too big to be an imperial cabinet and would therefore characterize it as a mammoth plate. I have seen 19th century mammoth plates as large as around 19" x 22". Remember one thing. For much (all?) of the 19th century photographers did not have the ability to enlarge or reduce prints from negatives. The 19" x 22" mammoth plate I have (of the 1889 Pittsburgh team) was printed from a negative that size! If someone wanted to make a baseball card from that image, he would have to reshoot it (i.e., take a photograph of the photograph) onto a smaller negative to generate the smaller positive image. |

Thanks for the info Corey. I'm wondering about my Nebraska Indians cabinet and what it should be categorized as...the photo part that you can see is 8" x 10", but it appears to have been cropped when it was matted. I also have a Football cabinet photo that is 11" x 13" that I have been calling an imperial cabinet. |

The terms "mammoth" and "imperial" have no set parameters. It's kind of a judgment call in some cases. |

Sorry to bring up this older thread. I just sold this pin and the new owner would like to identify the players. Can anyone help? Here is a scan. It is too bad the scan of the mammoth plate that Corey has does not show up anymore. It would help a lot because the image is much bigger than the image on this pin. I tried to make the pin appear larger without losing clarity. Thanks in advance! |

McGraw, Jennings, Wilbert Robinson, and Keeler are easy to pick out the rest I have no clue. |

There are two other HOFers: Ned Hanlon (Mgr.) and Joe Kelley (seated to Hanlon's right). |

In the first year of their championship run in 1894, they also had Dan Brouthers. That team had more future HOFers than any club except I think the 1932 Yankees (okay, there may be one or two others). |
