Default Vintage Trophy Baseball - need assistance pls

Posted By: chris

Sorry to delay these...my digital camera has been underperforming of late. The date looks like 1882 or 1888, I believe. Aug 19th, 1882 fell on a Saturday...a ,likely day of the week for a big match, perhaps? Aug 19th, 1888 was a Sunday...unlikely that the game was played on the sabbath...correct?

I contacted the Union County (Lewisburg PA) historical society and asked if they could assist me with a search of newspaper records for the date and they responded after a few days that they cam e up empty. Nothing back from the Mt. Joy historical society. I reached out to a card shop in Lewisburg who kindy gave me the name of a collector/customer of theirs that is attempting some research for me.

Also shown is another panel that reads "3 inn".
