Hello guys,
I was watching this Tim Murnane cabinet that recently ended on eBay. I was really interested in it being that if it is from the 1870s like SGC identifies it as, then it is a cabinet of a professional player during his professional career. However, I didn't pull the trigger on it because I just couldn't be sure that the cabinet is correctly identified as 1870's. According to baseball-reference, Murnane would have been in his early-late 20's throughout the 1870's. I'm not doubting it is Murnane, just the date. The seller pictured a scan of Murnane in his Athletics uniform at the same time this cabinet was supposed to have been taken. Murnane looks older to me in his street clothes, which made me think this cabinet could be more like an 1890s cabinet, which would make it outside of his playing career. What do you guys think?
