ALSO:

The 1866 patent was to "ANDREW PECK"...

NOT to "Peck & Snyder"...

which is consistent with what we learned previously about Andrew Peck having his own business in the early to mid 1860's BEFORE teaming up with SNYDER.

This makes me even more positive that the 1866 patent language on the front of the scorebooks was NOT indicative of when they were printed...

but ONLY indicative of when PECK got the trademark.

In other words ... I am sure that they printed these score books for decades AFTER 1866 with that same language on the front.

Oh well.


I guess what we NEED to find is a SIMILAR scorebook in which an 1868 baseball game was SCORED, so that we can KNOW that the book was printed BEFORE 1869...

and then see what ADDRESS is on THAT score book's cover.
