Lot 657
Two Early Baseball Teams. Lot of two photographs of early baseball teams. 1. Sepia toned, 7¾ x 4¾", n.p., n.d. On cardboard backing. Verso has penciled identification of players and mounting residue. One corner has tape repair on the verso, scratches in plate visible in print, minor foxing. Good condition. 2. Black and white, 7¾ x 5¾", [Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio], n.d. Photograph mounted on dark backing. Minor foxing and toning, ½" tear to right edge of photograph, minor chips in plate visible. Very good condition.
Two appealing pictures of local teams, the first most likely taken near the turn of the century and the other in the late 1910s or 1920s. In the first photograph, the men appear in work clothes rather than uniform, but their equipment is laid proudly before them, with a Model C. Spalding bat clearly identifiable. The second photograph shows a uniformed team and coach posed in front of an outfield wall. Two great reminders of the popularity of baseball through the last century and a half.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
