Burt's dates of activity are estimated at 1865-1885. Which doesn't narrow it down much. I'd guess ca. 1870 by the typography, but it could be late '60s.

Thanks for the link....and thanks for the feedback. I am going with circa 1870 on it. I think it's great that items like this, showing very early playing days, can still be had for not a lot of money (sub $500).....
