Default Need help identifying large studio photo/cabinet card??

Posted By: Tony Andrea

Wondering if anyone can help me to identify this large photo,cabinet??
As you can see it's been the picture in my avatar since day one on N54.
I purchased it about 7 years ago from SC Gaynor Auctions and was drawn to
it by the pose and clarity of the image. Stamped on the photo is: C.A Myers,
3520 Farrell S.F. Calif..... Size is roughly 7-1/2" x 9-1/2" and it has a blank back.
Minor 1-1/4" circular abrasion just to the right of the players head. Other than that
its' in wonderful condition as shown. The glare on the right border is from my scanner,
it's not on the photo/cabinet.
I saved the item decription from the original auction and this is what it stated:


"The offered item is a circa 1910-11 studio photo of a baseball player in full uniform.
Beautiful original thick stock matte finish photo features what appears to be a professional
baseball player in full uniform and in action. Embossed studio name C.A Myers of San Francisco.
This could also be a Pacific Coast League player as it has the pose and quality of an Obak
Premium T-4".


Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tony
