Default "New Marlboro Match Base Ball Game" Rules & Diagram

Posted By: Shawn

Thank you Rob for the info.

1863 seems to be the year these guys graduated, I would guess the date of the diagram to be before that? Maybe 1855-1860, but at this point there is no way to confirm that(but still does not change your point). At first I thought the middle initials on the Bushnell and Taft were a "J", but now I am pretty sure its an "I". So I am starting fresh with hunting down those names. We shall see.



Interesting also, is that I found this letter written by General Custer with the same "Congress, E. Smith" logo embossed on it. Pretty cool!

Edited to change my "intials"
