Default 19th Century Black Baseball Cabinet Photo

Posted By: Joe Hunter



I picked up this cabinet photo this weekend from a local flea market. From what I can tell from the uniforms, equipment and clothing, it appears to be from the late 1800's. I have seen quite a few cabinet photos of white teams from this era, but never a black team. The team members are identified on the back in fountain pen. The location of the team is given as Parsons, which I'm going to assume is Parsons, KS. Any thoughts about this item, relative value, etc. As can be seen from the scan, the cabinet is about gone, but the picture, itself, is still in decent shape. This is my first attempt to post an image, so if something is not right, don't be surprised.

edited scan size a little bit
