At first glance, the tintype itself (clipped corners, the look of the emulsion, the studio setting and backdrop) screams 19th century, not early 20th. |
I agree, the tintype appears more late-19th century than early-20th, and in regards to the uniforms and equipment, the quilted pants and full collar jerseys are consistent with 1890s diamond use. The glove the player on the left is wearing also appears to possibly be a webless workmans example (I could be wrong), so I think it is most likely late-19th century in my humble opinion. Great tintype and image either way.
