Nice photo John. I think I was an underbidder on that one about a month ago on ebay. I too think the photo is from the probable mid 1890's. If I recall correctly, I think the seller stated that the ball read CAR, and though that that was in reference to the same street as the photogarpher was on - Carson Street - which didn't make that much sense to me. Looks like it could read CAP as well. If I remember correctly, the same seller has another 1890's Pittsburgh football cabinet photo that ended the same day. That photo had a player with a P on his chest, and the player was more of an adult looking player where as your photo looks like it could be a high school player.
