1910 Obak Prototype
After reviewing the images of the pages of the 1910 Obak prototype album in the recent Legendary Auction, I noticed a couple of unusual things regarding team names.
The album pages list the Vernon team as the "Vernon Brewers" and the Seattle team as the "Seattle Siwashes."
Several other sources describe the 1910 Vernon team as the "Vernon Tigers" and the 1910 Seattle Team as the "Seattle Giants."
Futhermore, one of the pages for the Tacoma team in the prototype album omitts the team name altogether.
Is this most likely a case of the artist using more familar previous team names?
Any thoughts?
