Default Can we identify these items displayed by Wahoo Sam Crawford?

This photo is attributed to Wahoo Sam Crawford working on his bats in his shop in 1910. Can anyone identify any of the pieces of memorabilia displayed on the walls? The white one behind the jars looks like a cigarette box label to me.

Wow! I spent 30 minutes this morning looking at this photo before I logged on here! I saw it posted on a big Twitter account. Wondering the exact same thing. What were all of these photos/cards/postcards on the wall???...

The team photo is the 1906 Tigers. That one was easy.

The next photo appears to be the same (or at least from the same photo shoot) that makes up Sam's Novelty Cutlery card.

IMG_8527.jpg

The next appears to be a photo that makes up the photo used in Sam's HM Taylor and Dietsche cards.

This next one is of personal interest to me. The huge headshot of Sam that was tucked behind the 1906 Tigers team photo:

IMG_8525.jpg

I believe this 1910 photo of Sam (in his basement with his bats) has now solved a HUGE mystery for me, which is:

I own an essentially identical headshot of Sam's teammate, Boss Schmidt (mine was owned by Boss).

I initially surmised that Boss must have had it done for himself (he WAS a bit vain, after all ). It seems obvious now (to me, at least) that since Sam owned this one of himself, these were done for other player(s) and are likely to have been given out to or made by the team for themselves. I'm guessing these weren't distributed to the public (otherwise we would see more of these)? Does anyone have any info about these photos? Has anyone ever seen one?
